Lovely Experience
Pleasantly surprised at the lodge. Service was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful - even organising additional activities for us. Special thank you to Anna who was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Dinner service was well presented and delicious. Accommodation was clean and well-maintained. Aircon was strong enough to cool the room throughout and bathroom + kitchen were spacious and tidy.

Lovely setting and hearing the lions roar at night is worth staying over for. Unforgettable.. Also if you are a bird watcher. The large pond offers excellent opportunities to see many birds

Iion walks!
I love this place! Yes you can walk with lions and play with lion and tiger cubs and tour their high tech research lab. I saw no evidence of harm to the animals - in fact they have conservation awards posted. The staff are warm and friendly, the food is amazing and the cottages are charming.

Great service.
Great stay. The actual accommodation was fine, nothing great - but certainly sufficient. The highlight, however, was the predator interaction and the amazing staff. From the friendly lady in reception to our brilliant guide Jacqui, the service was outstanding. Everyone was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout. The predator interaction is a once in a lifetime opportunity and something that I would recommend to everyone I know.

Probably the most amazing experience I have ever had. This place is worth it for the meals alone. Worth it for the accommodations. Worth it for the animals. Worth it for the ambience. Add it all up at it is fantastic.

We loved Ukutula and give it 5 stars hands down. The staff was beyond friendly. The highlight of our trip was interacting with the Lion cubs and the walk with the Lions was the most amazing experience we have ever had and are still in awe. *****

We were very impressed with this property. Everything was excellent, the staff, the food, the property, the setting, the decor, and of course the wildlife. Would highly recommend this property. Have been to South Africa 4 times and this is definitely on our list for the 5th.

Séjour très agréable
Entièrement satisfaite par mes 2 jours passés à Ukutula Beau cadre bien entretenu et calme Très belle piscine Personnel sympathique qui fait le maximum pour rendre le séjour agréable Repas proposés copieux et bons mais peu de choix Il serait bien de changer les meubles dans les lodges qui commencent à avoir de l'âge en particulier les armoires
