Stunning property. One of the best hotels we have stayed at

Everything about Lush was amazing The staff friendly and couldn’t do more for you Lush is a amazing stay and the food out of this world Our guide Sean was so knowledgeable, patient and professional. Made sure we saw all the wildlife.

Words dont do this place justice and neither does the pictures!!! Every review is true, my only regret is not booking a longer stay.

Absolutely unbelievable. Incredible venue , best of the best.

PHENOMENAL! Every single detail! Every single second! Greatest experience ever! The loveliest people & food & experiences! Lush lodge cannot be beat! Thank you all!!!!

Best hotel we’ve ever stayed in!

We have stayed at over 30 Game Lodges in South Africa over the years and Lush Private Game Lodge is better by far. Their standard of service is unmatched. They are so friendly and they go above and beyond to ensure guests needs are met. The food is amazing and the game drives exceded all expectations. We can't imagine going anywhere else.

The hotel has a great friendly staff. The food is great and theres plenty of great drinks! Great massages and very confortable to rest. This is a great place to visit love the game drives and all the animals you can also see!

Amazing stay! Absolutely loved the lodge, the setting was incredible, staff amazing and the game drives top class. Would highly recommend to anyone

Genuinely the most beautiful accommodation I’ve ever experienced. It lives up to the reviews. I was lucky enough to stay in lodge 6 and I just wish there had been more hours in the day to spend lots of time in every indoor and outdoor section. The staff go out of their way to provide exceptional service and the food is outstanding. A special mention to Ranger Jacques, who was a brilliant guide and absolutely made the stay with his extensive knowledge, humour and care for guests.

Where does one begin? From the minute you drive up to the wonderful smiling, welcoming, waving greeters you feel at home. Lush was the highlight of our South African vacation. Every single attention to detail shows that love, thought and care has been given. Our guide Cole was outstanding, his knowledge and passion shine through. Thank you Lush for the memories we will definitely be back.

The VERY BEST bush lodge we have ever stayed in, if you can do stay in the Deluxe Suite its breath taking !!! All the staff are extremely well trained and carries you on their hands from beginning to end The Guides are incredible with a wealth of knowledge Not to even mention the food - we rolled out of the lodge it was just AMAZING

Excellent service, friendly, helpful staff. Excellent food. The cherry on the top was when I found that my car was washed for me, on the morning I was checking out.

Brilliant location and staff are amazing and cater to all your needs. Property is in great condos toon and you feel very safe at all times. A must do place if your heading to Pilansberg.

Luxurious accommodations. Attention to detail is second to none. Service was outstanding. Staff were pleasant, knowledgable and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Amenities and facilities were exceptional. The food was exceptional. We will definitely be back. Kudos to The Lush Family.

Our Lush experience was extraordinarily “LUSH” The staff are so genuinely caring, kind and professional yet suitably personable. They all made us feel really special and our experience of lodge and game viewing proved brilliant! The lodge is luxuriously and beautifully attired. The food is gourmet and delicious. Our overall best ever safari experience!

Lush lodge really has no faults- and after a 4 night stay, if it did we would have found them. The building and facilities were incredible- like something out of a film. The attention to detail is second to none. Every member of staff greets you by name and seems to have any request ready before you have finished your sentence. Thank you to all the team but in particular Andrew for organising a special celebratory meal for us. A special mention must go to our ranger Ruan - not only providing us with once in a lifetime sightings, he was also knowledgable about the whole landscape, birds and trees and kept us interested in between seeing the animals. Ruan’s passion, dedication and obvious enjoyment in his job was infectious and he was always professional and respectful of the animals and environment. Thank you again James and Libby

Everything about the Lush is magnificent. We just spent 3 nights during the Easter break as part of our South African honeymoon and it was pure magic. From the rooms, to the lodge, the food to the lovely people that hosted us, Lush really exceeded our expectations. A big thanks to Gloria, Andrew, Prince and our awesome guide Des. We will definitely be back!

The property was first class and very uniquely curated. Everything was exquisite and comfortable at the same time. It’s a hidden gem.

My partner and I stayed at Lush for two nights and cannot say enough good things about this place. It was absolutely beautiful from the location inside the Black Rhino Reserve to the decor of the entire lodge and its suites to the impeccable service and food. What a treat! The game drives were great, especially the morning ones as we saw a lot of lions and other big 5 animals. Our guide Doug was super friendly and knowledgeable-- we enjoyed spending time with him and learned quite a bit. The butler, Andrew, was super attentive and very quick with our requests for food/drinks etc. The managers-- John and Babs-- are just lovely and ensure that all the needs of their guests are met. Everyone went above and beyond. We are grateful to have ended our trip to South Africa on such a high note by spending it at Lush. We miss it dearly and cannot wait to return! Thank you so much, Lush!
