Family weekend away which was made so special by beautiful food and excellent service. Would recommend to everyone. The little touches with marshmallows to toast were lovely.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I booked to stay at this place for a night and 3 days after booking I could no longer attend due to medical reasons. When I spoke to these guys on the phone, I explained my circumstances and asked for a refund. I then asked to speak to a manager, in which I received a call back from Kate, the reservations manager. She told me that she would not accommodate me and that I would lose 50% of my money (£275). I thought this was a little bit harsh, considering I had only booked 3 days earlier, and wasn’t asking for 100% of my money back. I was happy to accept 70% of my money still leaving me at a £164.70 loss (Which isn’t bad for a hotel that would go on to sell the same room for full price!) for something out of my control. I was offered only to moves dates which I couldn’t accommodate due to other commitments. I will never spend my money at this place again, nor would I ever recommend anyone else to. They don’t seem to have any care in the world once they have received your money.

Another excellent stay at Lion Lodge. The Lodge itself is amazing, luxurious, comfortable and with excellent views of the young lion brothers. Such a special experience to wake up and see them outside the window. We stayed with friends, who had never stayed before and they absolutely loved it. The safari was excellent, we saw so many of the animals, even in the heat - seeing the giraffes queuing at feeding time was a special treat - a traffic jam Port Lympne style. The excellent food in the Garden Room for dinner/breakfast - varied menu and high quality ingredients. Would highly recommend a visit and hope to return soon. Special thanks to Jess (Safari Ranger) and Matilda (Garden Room).

Stayed with my wife and three daughters. Closest thing you can get to an African Safari. The lodge we stayed in was amazing.The staff too. The lions blew us away, they are literally face to face with you!!!

Terrific experience which will live with us for a long time. Staying at giraffe lodge was fantastic and to have the wildlife so close, was beyond belief.

Amazing stay, once in a lifetime experience. Lunch service was only real low point as the chip bowls were too hot and no warning was given. Check out could be warmer, feels like they want you out and if you have booked experiences then you have to obviously stick around. In general amazing and definitely would recommend and return.

Stayed at Bear Lodge. Fabulous experience, especially having access to the park during the evening. Great food and service at Bear Lodge restaurant. Well worth it and hope to go back to try out another type of accommodation
