I never stayed in a lodge lie this, all, really all the staff were so friendly and helpful smiling all the time. I was also impressed of their way of thining toward animals, rescuing them from Europe and Australia.
Amazing experience in a "big cat"'sanctuary. The purpose of the facility (to rehabilitate big cats in a natural environment) and the staff are exceptional. Not a luxurious resort but beautiful and best value for cost. Lionsrock is own by the NGO Four Paws which focuses on rehabilitating animals saved from zoos. A must "do" if in South Africa.
We arrived thinking it was a private cat rescue place, how wrong could we have been! Lovely property, good food, great location and staff, what a great job they do there. If you're in any way an animal lover, this place is a must. Absolutely exceeded our expectations, stop being so humble guys you are underselling yourselves. Loved or stay there :)
And it is for a very good cause, too. This was our 2nd visit and we were just as happy as on the first. Great home cooking, too. Excellent value for money.
