Nothing, it was all great.

A superb and relaxing oasis in the middle of the bush. Lynn and Brian are exceptional hosts and their staff are amazing. Great food was also a bonus. Thanks for a great stay, it was the perfect close to our South African adventure 😊

Owners and staff were extremely nice. we had a lovely dinner together out in the camp fire place. We took the early walking safari which was nice, how ever we didn't see anything new from Kruger. :-) Donald the tour gut is something else The room is on a tree with nets to see the nature.

Limited game to see st the reserve but good game watching nearby and organised tours available to get to them

Accomodation was very good, the canvas tree lodges are spacious, comfortable and secluded. The optional outdoor shower was wonderful! Hosts Lynn and Brian were lovely and full of information, I think they will be retiring soon so catch them while you can!

The road to get to the property - visitors should heed Lynn's advice to use a high clearance vehicle.

Everything - Lion Tree Top Lodge is all you could wish for - brilliant hosts, fabulous room in an amazing setting, excellent food, good selection of drinks at the honesty bar. We had peace and quiet and were able to relax during the day then had convivial evenings by the fire eating dinner with our hosts - haven't laughed so much in ages. The bush walk with Donald on our last morning was memorable and there was a lovely breakfast every morning.

What an absolutely amazing place and people. Couldn’t asked for a better place to spend my new year! Brian, Donald, Lynn, Mamsi and the rest of staff made me feel so at home and taken care of. Rooms/tents are very spacious and comfortable with a huge terrace so you can really take in the surroundings. Dinner around the fireplace in the evening was lovely, and the food was amazing! Be prepared to gain a couple kilos - it’s so worth it ;) They will arrange any activity for you and I can also highly recommend the bush walks. I hope to be back at Lion Tree Top soon!

There was nothing not to like

Our hosts, Lynn and Brian, treated the 5 of us like family. Great communication prior to our arrival, regarding game drives and other activities, all being organised ahead of time. Really comfortable 'tree top tents', in the Bush, with associated wildlife nighttime noises. Fantastic sleeps. Loved the small social gatherings at breakfast and dinner, meeting and chatting with the other local and intrmernational guests, together with Lynn and Brian. Food was excellent and plentiful. Great chef and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were very sad to leave after our 6 nights and 5 very full days. Would highly recommend it if you want to experience the real Bush atmosphere in a small, family group setting.

Everything with this place was excellent.

It is lost in a Game reserve which is awesome, the road to get there is a bit tidious and 45min from Kruger entrance. That is just a very small downside, otherwise the place is perfect to deconnect.

The rooms in the trees are amazing, so unique and comfortable, it’s an amazing experience. To fall asleep with the sound of the savana forest is one of a kind. Lynn and Brian and all the team are amazing, very nice and great to talk with. Thank you for their very warm welcome, you feel almost home. A very great stay, and the food was also delicious.

Would have been nice to be in a reserve with its own local game drive. However, Lynn organized a separate drive to Malenyeti, which was great.

Lynn and Brian were fantastic hosts,and staff were delightful Lovely atmosphere in a small and intimate camp. Tented accommodation in the trees was a great experience.Good proximity to Blyde river canyon (boat cruise) too.

Fantastic place and location, great staff and food. Would definitely return to this place.

The place is very clean and well-kept, beautiful, in the heart of a private and quiet nature reserve. The cabins: each cabin is isolated from the other cabins. Although there ia a shower and a hotub, there is (in addition) an outside (isolated) shower. The bed is insanely comfortable, the atmosphere is romantic and reminiscent of the movie "Memories of Africa". Each cabin has private access for the vehicle. The hosts: A warm local couple, Bryan and Lynn, loving and caring, even after we left the lodge. From the first moment we got the feeling of a "home away from home". Meals: we especially enjoyed breakfast and dinner thanks to the great cooker on site and we ate the dinners around the fire. One night we even spotted buffaloes while having dinner. In conclusion, staying at the place is highly recommended, even if it is necessary to get there specifically. Thank you so much, Bryan and Lynn.

Lynn, Brian and Donald are the best hosts ever🙏🙏🙏 we strongly recommend the bush walk with Donald. The game drives as well, in Krueger and Manuleti park

That I wasn't there for longer!

Where do I start? This place was just magical. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. Lynn and Donald are incredible hosts! We really felt with one with nature but with the added comforts. I have never stayed in a place like this and it exceeded all my expectations. Donald is so clever and knowledgeable and genuinely interested in talking with his guests. Lynn is such an amazing character and talks from the heart. It was really a perfect 2 night stay, I wish it was longer. Every part of it was amazing, dinner by the fire, listening to the animals at night, the outdoor shower....the list is endless! Go and book!!

The breakfast was great. The owners are very helpful. The roads to the location are not great but we got there in the end

We had the most divine 3-night stay at Lion Tree Top Lodge! - Hospitality: Brian, Lynn and staff were incredibly warm and hospitable and made us feel at home. They were always up for a friendly chat, and were happy to help with booking any activities for you (even outside of the lodge). - The treehouse: we stayed in the Cheetah treehouse and absolutely loved it! The trees are literally growing onto the balcony. There's a kettle (teas and coffee) and a bar fridge in the unit, which is all you need. There is no cell reception in the unit, so you feel completely off the grid! Lion Tree Top is a slice of heaven. - Location: the lodge is situated in Guernsey private reserve, which borders the Kruger National Park. The Guernsey road isn't in great condition, so a high-rise vehicle is highly recommended. Guernsey is teeming with lots of wildlife (no big 5) and birds, and you can hear the lions from Kruger roaring at night as if they're a stone throw away from your treehouse. It takes about an hour to get to the Orpen gate at Kruger. - Food: The food (breakfasts and dinner) were delicious, prepared by a talented private chef - 10/10. Chef was very proud of her meals and presented the 3-course creative dinner menu each night. I especially loved sitting around the boma for dinners swapping stories with the other guests.

Very peaceful place, the lodge was even better than on the photos. On the first night we spotted a giraffe while sitting on a lakeside bench close to our room. Staff is super friendly, dinners are incredible. What else to say, just go!

Amazing, secluded, peaceful, and private lodge with beautiful surroundings. Brian, Lynn and Donald welcomed us and were brilliant hosts. Lynn arranged all the activities we wanted to do perfectly. Food was exquisite. This break was exactly what we both needed. If you want an exclusive experience, this is the place to visit!! We saw lots of game both on the reserve and in Kruger and Manyaleti. Highly highly recommended.

What a fantastic place to stay...Close to Kruger but also within their own game reserve which also has lots of animals...Zebra and giraffe walking around...A bush walk is highly recommended...Lynn and Brian cannot do enough for you. All our trips were organised for us and they were friendly, helpful and great fun....Easy to get to from Hoedsprit airport and a very comfortable, interesting place to stay. Loved the big comfy beds and outside shower. Also the food was excellent thanks to Tinyiko the chef. Very varied and delicious. Highly recommended place to stay.

Lion Tree Top Lodge is one of the best experiences in south Afrika. Lynn, Brian and the amazing staff made us feel really welcome. this truly is a lodge with a warm hart and a fascinating story of the former white tigers. we had a great diner and listened to the great stories of Brian and Lynn. In the morning we did a bush walk with Donald and learned a lot about animal tracks. The Safari tents are amazing!!! we regret we only had the time to spend one night here…
