Wow what an amazing experience. Friendly and helpful staff. What an experience interaction with the lion cub and the lemurs. Wow the Lemurs came and eat of your shoulder some cut fruit, that was awesome, and what big Lions and Tigers. Very clean venue. I would recommend it to all families. Thanks to everyone that made our day special. We loved it

Too exspensive because you pay 150 rand per person for a tour through the predator park with a guide,there were no guide with us.R250 per person for a interaction package ,there were almost no animals to interact with,some cages where empty and other cages were been worked in,maintenance guys.It was not like that before covid,we loved the place.It is really not worth goingthere now .There money per person is way to much for what you see and interact with.not for

A beautiful venue and an excellent learning experience for young and old. All staff were extremely friendly and our game drive ranger was super informative and my children learnt a lot. The restaurant is reasonably priced and I can highly recommend the beef and cheese burger. Will definitely make a plan to visit as often as possible.

We attended a wedding here and booked a room for the weekend.The rooms are confortable, clean and neat.The facilty is beautifull in general.We do have some suggestions though:To serve only Ricoffy in a venue like this is unforgiveable. I suggest you find a decent coffee supplier and serve filter coffee, especially with meals.The toaster used at breakfast is wholly insufficient.I would suggest you invest in a commercial toaster.At breakfast a chef preparing eggs to order, at the buffet, including fried, scrambled and even omletts is a huge benefit.The food for the evening meals were excellent.

This is a beautiful, affordable lodge, however the first room I was taken to had an electric problem, if you were barefoot washing your hand in the bathroom, it would electrocute you. I was moved as soon as I reported the issue, however it was something they were aware of which is concerning because they still booked it out. They need to close the room and any other room with that same issue until the electric problem has been fixed.

The restaurant service and the food 1 out of 5. Waiter and the guy at reception was very friendly but we waited 15 min before anyone helped us. The food was not fresh and the chips oily. The park itself was very cool and tidy, and i could see they look well after the animals in the park.

Letaba river lodge is a complete family retreat. Lions, tigers, and many many more. The food is amazing at a decent price. All and all worth while. There is a burger calles the monster burger. It is a must.

Beautiful lodge !!Only popped in to have a look.Personally I feel that the price per person to visit the lions is a bit steep for our SA people.

The guide was good. The animal variety is excellent!The flies were such a problem it lost them a star.Smear yourself with insect repellent, take a hat, and try to go during a cooler part of the day.

Tigers in cages (in africa) in a hot humid Tzaneen climate, perhaps some people will not notice the suffering of the animals but this was not for me at all! To my knowledge, which is limited, these animals needs vast open spaces not small enclosures. Also the close proximity in which the different species of big cats finds themselves must surely lead to a lot of stress for these animals.

Its one of the must-see places when you in tanzeen. The staff is very friendly and helpful there is also a lot of animals to see and just for a little bit extra money they also let you touch the animals and its quite the experience touching a lion. They also have a beautiful restaurant where you can have a nice meal and look over the river. Its also kid friendly and have a lot of small animals for the children to touch like baby lion cubs and baby red cats. A real beautiful place to go visit.

We did not get to see the lions we had driven so far for. The receptionists attitude was off-putting. The lodge looks well kept though.

Very nice place for families with kids. The zoo adheicent to the lodge is not a game park. However, interacting physically with the animals (at extra cost) is impressive.

Review №65

This is what I have been looking for for a long time when I came to SA.I like the tour Guards, they are very interactive and help you get more related to the animals. The names of the Lion etc. the lodge is a comfortable. It is not funky in the rooms but its okay. we went for the Lions and the other predators. I was also excited that they actual invite Students in for educational tour. I met with a batch of student on my second visit and I was impressed.The peacock around the surrounding makes it more lively.The interaction session with lions is fun.

Review №85

Disgusting exploitation at its finest. Where are the mothers of these very young cubs that get handled by humans all day long? Why are all these animals being raised at a camp for tourists? Why...because they are being raised for canned hunts! All of these animals that are being loved on and hand raised by people, all of these animals that seem so well cared for, all of these animals that pose for pictures will wind up on the other side of a rifle and their heads will hang on some trophy hunters wall and their bones shipped to Asia for medicinal use. Great way to disguise yourselves as some sort of animal refuge.

Review №86

The animals are well looked after and seem to be healthy. If I was rating the animal aspect alone I would be rating 5 stars.However, after the animals we went to the restaurant to eat something. We discovered a limited menu awaiting us and decided to let the drink be our deciding factor as to whether or not we will be eating here. Service was quite slow and the Cappacinos we received still contained undissolved pieces and seemed to be from sachets.In conclusion: Animals 5 StarsThe Rest 2 StarsKind RegardsHeinrich

Beautiful place. Rooms advertised as self catering but no fridge in room. No stove or gas braai available to guests to prepare meals. Water quality not for human consumption. No teaspoons. No coffee cups. Only teacups. Cuttlery levels on the lodge itself is very low. At least got one teaspoon for two rooms.

The lions are always stinking and are kept in small cages (as well as the other animals) plus when the spca comes they move lions from over crouded cages away so it all looks fine.and their music is too loud and disturbs the other guests .. Other wise the food is good and service is kind
