My wife and I spent two nights with Gerhild and her amazing team and came away with a deep desire to repeat the experience as soon as possible. Israel, the guide, managed to organise close (very close) encounters with the white lions and elephants on two separate days and in general took us to see whatever our heart desired over... More

We were greeted with warm towels and the attention to detail and care afforded us just carried on for the two nights we spent at the White Lion Lodge. The accommodation is really beautiful, with great attention to detail - the outdoor shower is particularly to be recommended, and the loo with a view! The food and wine was plentiful... More

We only stayed one night at this amazing lodge and we wished that we could have stayed forever! Gerhild and the staff are amazing and will attend to all your needs, even before asking or knowing that you have them! The lodge and the units are very luxurious with attention to details and beautiful art. The rancher, Israel, is very... More

Great experience and within driving distance of Cape Town. Gerhild, Libby, and Israel took great care of us. The lodge was superb and the food great. The scenery is beautiful as is all of South Africa. Regarding the game it was a question of quality rather than quantity: we saw the white lions in the wild on two days- one... More

We stayed at White Lion Lodge for three nights and it proved to be the undoubted highlight of our holiday. The accommodation was superb - the unit had everything we could ask for. The swimming pool was a short (50 feet) way from the front door. All the furniture, the fittings etc throughout the lodge were of the highest quality.... More

Just spent a day and a night at this lodge with my wife and our 5 year-old son.The 3 hour scenic drive to get there from Camps Bay was an experience itself.

My boyfriend and I, along with another couple, ended up at the White Lion Lodge when we were fortunate enough to land a last-minute opening. Gerry and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to give us the information we needed. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and very private. Each room has truly luxury, private accommodations. The... More

I've been going on game trips throughout Southern Africa for most of my life but never have I had such a marvelous experience as I did at the White Lion Lodge. The service is stunning, the food divine, and the rooms immaculate. Dining: Each meal was a treat on its own. Either an exotic antelope (springbok, Kudu, Ostrich) or tasty... More
