Located within 30 km of Phalaborwa Gate and 45 km of Olifants West Game Reserve, Adonsonia Lodge features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Grietjie Nature Reserve.

We had a great (unfortunately only 1 night) stay at Adonsonia Lodge. It’s a nice small place surrounded by nature. The dinner and breakfast was exceptional - the meat was mouth watering! We were visited by elephants, which was really surprising and came as a great welcome to Africa on our first night. If I’m ever in the area, I’d definitely choose this lodge again.

Situated 3 km from the Kruger National Park, this family run lodge offers rustic accommodation set in over 2 acres of tropical gardens. It has a swimming pool and free WIFI is available throughout.

Breakfast was very good. The host was more than just accommodating as there was a power outage in the facility’s local area. He arranged for us to stay at another venue which had power. So we ended up sleeping elsewhere but returned for breakfast

Located just 1.6 km from Phalaborwa Gate, Casa Leitao Lodge offers accommodation in Phalaborwa with access to an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

As an overnight pitstop before hitting Kruger park this was fine. Does the job, decent bed, hot shower. No bells and whistles, you get what you pay for.

    Amazing stay, Xander was a great host. I went with my mate for a few days and the location was exceptional. Being in a private reserve, on arrival at night in our rental car we saw elephants on the first night! The food,staff and trips were all really well organised and fabulous. Only staying for a couple days we were so lucky to see so much and can’t thank Xander enough. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing but also educational trip as we learnt so much!

    Wonderful small bush lodge with a great host and wonderful guides. We were made very welcome, like part of the family, sharing stories around the fire before enjoying a wonderful dinner. The game drives were excellent with numerous lion sightings and a great variety of other game. During the day the elephants come to the water hole directly outside the fence and stay for a long time.

    Fantastic food great hosts and super friendly staff No really: fantastic food Sometimes it is difficult to find good accommodation and you don't know where to start, well don't look further...take this place. It is comfortable, clean and has a nice atmosphere. Do not expect to find a five star hotel, it is not nor does it pretend to be. It is a good accommodation in a game reserve. Ask Xander for a game drive or a bush walk. Wish we could have stayed there longer

    Lions place is a beautiful hidden Pearl in Greater Kruger. jP and Daniëlle are great hosts. He lives his ranger dream and is a fantastic guide during Game drives. Danielle is a warm person and cooks with passion. We felt home in the middle of this beautiful nature

    Our 3 day stay at lions place exceeded all of our expectations! The service, room and safari drives have all been amazing and if you are lucky many different animals come drink at the lodge. JP is a great host and really goes the extra mile to make your stay and game drives extra special. One of our most memorable stays ever!
