Hotels near Phalaborwa Gate, Phalaborwa

A true experience staying at this lovely hotel just a few steps from the Kruger park

Fantastic location with observation terrasse. On 10 safaris, the best guide ever (Wynant): he really knows what he is talking about, calm,….

Lions Place is a fabulous lodge. Located in the middle of a private reserve bordering the Kruger National Park, the hotel provides a luxury experience. Besides being very nice, well decorated and comfortable, it offers several alternatives to tour the area with highly trained guides (Congratulations to JB and Ian for their fantastic work as guides!) The room is very spacious, with a very comfortable bed, a large bathroom with a large bathtub, closets, tea and coffee making facilities, cold water and an incredible view of the savannah. Lions Place also has a swimming pool, and two viewpoint that allow you to view the beautiful scenery, plus the garden where if you are lucky you can find wild animals (we saw a porcupine). JB, who is in charge of the place is the best! Very friendly, welcoming and an excellent guide both in the area and during the full day safari we did in Kruger. At Lions Places you can also request, in addition to the value of your stay, a dinner, which is an unforgettable experience. A French and South African fusion dinner with a starter, main course and dessert, which, weather permitting, is served outdoors. In our case we did a full day safari (exceptional!) and a morning bush walk. Both instances were amazing! We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and many other mammals and birds that made the visit unforgettable. A special note to the ladies who run the place, they are very kind and excellent cooks! Totally recommended and we would stay there again.

The house was really beautiful and big enough to be comfortable in 6 people

This was our second stay and we were very happy again. Theroom was very comfortable and we appreciated the welcoming touches provided: e.g., tea and coffee, rusks, bottled water.

Very nice place, close to the Phalaborwa gate. The host Dave makes sure you have everything you need and is more than happy to share some tips and tricks when going to Kruger, which was exactly what we needed. Thank you again! We had a great time!
