The staff is extremely friendly and really makes you feel at home. We were the only 2 guests during our two night stay and really enjoyed our time. During the game drive, Romeo really adds to the experience given his extensive knowledge and we got to see a lot of animals on the morning safari!!

“Perfectly organised,a great friendly family vibe, intimate experience, clean, organised with everything on site for a fa”

Peaceful location, great secluded view, excellent details reflecting the wild nature of the location. Super comfortable bed. Fabulous, friendly staff, fantastic food with a great drink selection. After dinners we had an opportunity to catch up with the manager, Gerry, who was so knowledgeable on the history of the area and shared here experiences. So interesting and I came away a wiser man. Considering the upkeep of a remote location and the care and upkeep of the animals and nature reserve it was great value for money compared to others we had stayed. The mornings are cold on your early start safari! Really cold. But not to worry, this is all covered with all the warm high quality gear you will need ready in your room. And our guide, Romeo, he was the most experienced knowledgable guide you could ask for. A great tracker and took us everywhere we needed to be to enjoy an amazing safari experience and see all these majestic creatures in the wild. We’re already talking about when we may go back. Great job. By far the best part of our 2 week stay in SouthAfrica.

“The most relaxing holiday we have had in a long long while, just what we needed to rejuvenate”

Fantastic staff, went out of their way to ensure our every comfort. Food was excellent, loved all the little extra touches, if you are looking for tranquility this is the place. Loved the two drives we went on with Romeo, his knowledge is exceptional.

The entire team delivered an outstanding performance! Special thanks to Romeo, our fantastic guide — thanks to his expertise and keen eye, we even managed to spot a kangaroo, which made the experience truly unforgettable.

“Absolutely 5 star!”

Such a memorable experience. A true 5 star lodge with amazing accommodation. As they only have 8 guests at anytime you have a real luxurious home from home experience with knowledgable staff on all counts. Our tour guide Romeo was absolutely brilliant & so experienced enabling us to see everything we expected. The lodge is on the south side of sanbona so you must pay the extra conservation fee to enter with him to the north where you see the big 5. If you are looking for a true luxurious safari experience then book here - you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended

“You must stay here; an incredible lodge in a piece of heaven.”

All the meals were fabulous. We had been a little poorly during the early part of our trip, but the lodge was able to cater for our food requirements with very little notice. The rooms are astonishing; huge verandas and our door showers. Inside everything was thought through; capes for the safaris and throws for warmth if needed. Stunning bathroom/ Wonderful dressing room. We could have moved in permanently!! Gerry is the most amazing host...she is warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

“I can only say awsome.”

The facility was great and the staff exceptional. We were treated very well by all the staff and they couldn't do enough to please us. The safari drive was amazing and we got to see most all the wild life up close. The guide was very knowledgeable.

Everything. Clean, friendly, relaxing, paradise

“Extremely disappointed.”

We liked the landscape however very little wild life, massage was excellant

“Beautiful oasis”

Everything. It’s a beautiful oasis, fantastic staff and hospitality, amazing facilities, great food.

“Small piece of luxury in the wilderness”

Very secluded location in the South of the Sanbona Reserve. Only 4 rooms, so you feel you have a very personalized service. Spacious and nicely furnished bedrooms. Good breakfast. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic safari guide (Gerry).

“Wonderful, luxury experience.”

The moment we arrived at White Lion Lodge we were spoilt. The accommodation is gorgeous, with many thoughtful touches such as personalised water bottles and luxury toiletries. I celebrated a big birthday 2 days prior to our visit and was surprised with an amazing cake, bubbles and chocolates. The staff are the shining stars of White Lion Lodge. Israel, thank you for our drives. For your knowledge and perseverance to give us the best experience. Abigail, your hospitality and kindness was so appreciated. Alicia, you are an incredible chef. We loved every bite we ate and goodness we ATE!! And many best wishes to the behind the scenes staff, who cleaned our room and carried our bags and filled our hot tub. To Gerry and her team. THANK YOU. We will never forget our time with youand hope to see you again XX
