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.

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.

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. *****
