African Sky Hotels - Harrismith Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location friendly staff nice bar and fantastic food overall would recommend"

Protea Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Clean room and staff are very handsome with customer determination."

Lion House @ggconservation for lion and nature lovers

10/10 Excellent

"Es war einfach unglaublich! Wir haben in der Lodge übernachtet. Wieviel Geschichte in dem Haus steckt, kann man sich nicht vorstellen. Unter anderem hat Queen Elizabeth 1947 dort übernachtet, kurz bevor sie Queen wurde. Nachts hat man immer wieder das Gebrüll der Löwen gehört und morgens konnte man sie vom Bett aus beobachten. Auch die Liebe zu den Löwen, die der Besitzer ausstrahlt, ist einfach unglaublich! Volle Empfehlung!"
