A wonderful 2 days despite temperatures of 15 degrees at the end of November! Luxurious accommodation; our hostess Sarah was always on hand; Libby the cook provided the best food we had during our whole holiday in South Africa, and Travis the Ranger imparted his knowledge of the flora and fauna with such enthusiasm that you came to realise there...

It was our most luxurious stay in South Africa, and worth every bit the price that we are paying. The lodge is luxurious, definitely not something that I expect in a safari .... it's like my dream home ! The service and food was so good. Wished we had stayed another night ! The safari game drives were good, and... More

The lodge itself is beautifully furnished and the staff are all friendly and helpful. The food is also good quality. We were disappointed with the safari drives though. It is advertised as two drives a day but our second drive was just a quick 45 minute trip to see two of the white lions which are held in an enclosure.... More

We spent two nights at the White Lion Lodge Game reserve. The cottage was one of the most amazing rooms we have ever stayed in. The views from the bed room were breath taking. The bathroom was out of this world. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food was first class. Nothing was... More

We spent 2 lovely days here with our two children. Every detail has been thought of, nothing about our stay was less than superb. Travis, the game driver, was very helpful and we were able to see lots of game, including the end of a white lion killing a gemsbok... stunning. Food was very good, rooms immaculate, staff amazingly friendly. More

The lodge itself is very comfortable, furnished to a high spec and has everything you need and some things that you don't, but will love! Whilst Sanbona does not have the volumes of animals that somewhere like Kruger can boast, it does have the big 5 and our wildlife experiences were excellent. Just be patient, it can be a long...

As a place to stay overnight and have dinner this is a wonderful lodge. The four cottages/suites are furnished and decorated wonderfully, perhaps the best we have seen on our many trips in SA. If you like a quiet luxury place this is the lodge for you. Do not expect herds of 50 elephants or 15 giraffes at the same... More

Spent two nights at the Lodge with four game drives. Saw almost everything the nature reserve has to offer. The lodge is amazing, four individual lodges with amenities fit for a king. The food is out of this world amazing. The extra 30 minutes into the park is worth the drive to stay at this lodge. With a maximum of... More

Like the other reviewers, we can't say enough good things about White Lion Lodge! Our family enjoyed every minute of our stay from the luxurious (and immaculate) rooms, delicious meals and incredible game drives. One could happily spend a day just birdwatching and stargazing from the porch. We were completely spoiled by the attentive and well-informed staff (thank you Travis,... More

White Lion Lodge is a fabulous place to stay and was the absolute highlight of our 3-week trip to South Africa. Everybody present on our two days agreed that White Lion Lodge is the most impressive looking accommodation in the whole of Sanbona by a large margin. Our individual lodge was extremely luxurious with massive bed, top quality sheets, great... More
