Staff, food, game drives all excellent. A real family feel to Leeuwenbosch which was very welcoming. Other guests had stayed multiple times which is a great recommendation.

The food was outstanding and the service/staff were simply wonderful. They made sure that my mother’s birthday was a day to remember. We went on a couple of game drives and saw 4 of the big 5. The rooms were spotless with lovely facilities. With no light pollution it was a treat to sit out at night marvelling at the stars.

The Breakfast was really lovely We had a quick simple one prior our early Game Drive at 6.00 am and on our return from the game drive we had a lovely menu to choose from, and all was really great ...well presented and truelly a great Breakfast

I could not fault anything, it's a proper farmhouse experience with Game Reserve feel, not a Game Lodge
