Uitsonderlike plek met uitstekende selfgsorgverblyf. Restaurant se kos uit die boonste rakke!

Wonderlike navorsingsfasiliteit met toegang vir besoekers. Waar anders kan jy 'n jagluiperd se oortjies streel sonder om 'n vinger te verloor?

Exceptional place with excellent self catering accommodation. Restaurant's food from the top shelves!

Wonderful research facility with visitor access. Where else can you stroke a cheetah's ears without losing a finger?

Heerlike wegbreek.

Ons het Ukutula baie geniet, die toer was vreeslik leersaam en die speel met die luiperdwelpies baie oulik. Die leeus en hyaenas in die nag was 'n stunning geluid. Die personeel was altyd beskikbaar en bereid om te help en die eienaar ook betrokke en gaan uit haar pad om gaste welkom te laat voel. Ons het geselfcater, maar laaste aand by die restaurant geëet en o my! MasterChef-gehaltekos. Dit was uit die boeke. Ons het 3 aande spandeer en dit was genoeg om alles te doen en rustig te verkeer. Met klein kinders sal meer dae verblyf dalk bietjie verveeld raak, want hulle kan net swem en bietjie stap. Ons het ons seuntjie se fietsie ingepak, waarmee hy bietjie kon rondry en ekstra wildkyk ritte geboek. Heerlike wegbreek venue en so naby aan Gauteng. Sal definitief weer besoek.

Great getaway.

We really enjoyed Ukutula, the tour was very informative and playing with the leopard cubs was very cute. The lions and hyaenas at night was a stunning sound. The staff was always available and willing to help and the owner also involved and goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome. We self-catered, but ate at the restaurant on the last night and oh my! MasterChef quality food. It was off the books. We spent 3 nights and it was enough to do everything and relax. With small children, staying for more days might get a bit boring, because they can only swim and walk a bit. We packed our little boy's bike, which he could ride around a bit and booked extra wildlife viewing trips. Great getaway venue and so close to Gauteng. Will definitely visit again.

Een geweldige ervaring!

Een heerlijk, supergaaf begin van onze reis. De rangers en iedereen die helpt zijn erg kundig en de leeuwenwelpen liggen gewoon om je heen en spelen graag mee. De grotere leeuwen waren indrukwekkend maar alles is super geregeld en veilig. Mooie omgeving, ze hadden (zou bijna vergeten) ook zebra's, impala en ander wild, lekker ontbijt, zelf warm eten gekookt. En oh ja, ook goede bedden. Al met al aan te bevelen dus!

Lekker wegbreek vir 'n aand.

Meer geskik vir ouer kinders, nie veel vir klein kinders om te doen nie.

Nice break for an evening.

More suitable for older children, not much for small children to do.

A unique experience in comfortable surroundings

We were looking for something 'different' to do with our elder daughter on her visit to South Africa and we found it at Ukutula Lion Lodge. The roar of the lions at night, a cuddle with the cubs, far too much food at breakfast, and one evening meal, hours riding with game and less than an hour from the Big 5 and an elephant rides. Definitely an experience to remember.
