Relaxing lodge break

The lodge is well appointed and extremely comfortable. The staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful, the wildlife guide was superb. Food and drink were all good, there was too much at times. Perhaps a treadmill would be a welcome extra in the spa area.

Hi Diana S Thank you for your review, we are delighted to hear you had a wonderful stay at Lions Valley Lodge. However, we are disappointed that you did not like any of the 14 red wines on our wine list, especially because we had a wine specialist recommend what wines we should make available to guests! We hope you will make a return visit and we will definitely liaise with you in advance to make sure we have stock of your wine of choice. We have also just set up a new spa area which you will be able to enjoy on a return visit.

What would be the best way to get to this game reserve from Johannesburg airport? After our time at the game reserve we plan to go diving in Mozambique. Which airport would we take to get to Vilanculos? Do you see enough animals here or is it good to combine the Lions Valley Lodge with another game reserve?

We used Rhino transfers who drove us from Jo'burg to the gate in approx 4 hours. Very easy, good service and reasonable. rhino shuttles . co . za As per the other comments, you will see 4 of the big 5 multiple times I'm sure, but you are unlikely to see leopard (or cheetah) in this reserve as there are so few in this reserve. But I wouldn't let that stop you going!

What is the best way to get to this Lodge from CapeTown? There will be 3 adults and a 13 year old girl. We don't want to drive. We will also need to get from the lodge to Johannesburg for our return flight to the US.

Hi, I flow from Cape Town to Joburg and then drove (about 4h). Best wishes Jonathan.
