What a stunning oasis just off Orpen gate road. Staff that go out of their way to assist guests, quick & easy to contact, share stories, connect over tasty meal. There are plenty of 5* lodges in the area. This is authentic, friendly, and good service at an affordable rate.

Awesome accommodation and food! Our guide, Joe, was amázing! A wealth of knowledge over such a wide spectrum. Animals, big and small. Insects, birds, trees, biosphere, I came back having really learnt a lot! We felt like family after a couple of days. We’ll be back.

A special experience was staying at the Lion Tree Top Lodge in the Greater Kruger Park. At night you hear the lions roar, the hyenas call and the monkeys jump on the roof and terrace of your lodge. In the morning while you are under the outdoor shower you see the impalas and springboks pass by. During the day with a nice glass of wine by the pool you see the zebras drinking from the pond nearby. And close to the resort you can see the giraffes walk. A very special experience to see all those animals pass by your lodge. In the evening we had a very nice meal around the cozy campfire in the boma together with the super sweet hosts Brian and Lynn. The lodges are beautiful and equipped with all the necessities, separated from each other by wooden paths that provide the necessary privacy. So the resort seemed all to yourself. No mass tourism here like with the accommodations in the Kruger Park. In short, a real African bush experience in this small-scale, cozy resort, which was a highlight of our road trip through South Africa, thanks in part to Brian and Lynn.

Our stay was truly unforgettable, and a significant part of that was the exceptional dining experience. From breakfast to dinner, the food was consistently delicious and beautifully presented. Chef Agreement is clearly a talented and dedicated chef. Her passion for cooking shines through in every dish, and her attention to detail is impeccable. We were particularly impressed by the creativity and flavor combinations in her dishes. The lodge itself was also very well-maintained. Our room was always clean and tidy upon our return, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. The culinary experience alone is worth the visit

Absolutely loved our time at Little Africa and would have stayed much longer if we could have! The small size of the lodge meant the setting felt very intimate and personalised, and we found each of the staff members a pleasure to deal with. The drivers and tracker for the game drives were engaging and get you amazingly close to the wildlife- we were able to see all of the big 5 within the first 3 drives. The food also deserves a special mention- was home prepared according to personal preference and was delicious!
