Summary: Beautiful location where you are simply at peace and far from the bustle of everyday life. The roar ofthe lions and dawn and dusk are the few sounds to break the tranquility....and they are a magnificent sound. The property was spotless, kitchen and bbq well equipped. Little touches like a selection of games for the evening and blankets to keep warm on the terrace were thoughtful and made the house feel homely. The staff were amazing...big shout out to Wade, Kayleigh and Suzanne. The owner Patrick is a real character and was a great source of information. Definitely recommend this place and will go back next year

Summary: We had an amazing time at the Lion House. The lions are obviously the main attraction and they did not disappoint. The house is older and some of the windows don't quite line up to the frame of the house, so we had some large spider visitors and lots of flying bugs also since there isn't AC and windows are open for breeze most of the time - so something to consider if critters bother you. Communication with the host prior to arrival required multiple follow ups, but once we were there, the staff and communication were wonderful. Sadly, the photography cage that was advertised is no longer in use, but we did get to observe feeding day which was cool.

Summary: I loved every minute of it. Definitively a dream came true. Being so close to the lions was lovely. The feeding experience, the lion tour and specially the roarings is something I will never forget.

Summary: We stayed for 2 nights but really you need 3+ nights as that gives you time to adjust to the 'roars' during the nights. What a magnificent sound to sleep to. Sitting on the stoep just watching the lions was so relaxing. Would like to go back in summer when the grass is green as we stayed in winter and it was typical Orange Free State, dry and brown veld. Loved it and miss it!

Summary: We staid a week at GGconservation and we loved it as it gave us the opportunity to build some relationship with the lions (Shalom and Ariel in particular) facing the Lions House which is what we were looking for. Thank you so much Pat for these great emotions !
