Love Lions Alive Sanctuary is ideally suited for the quiet, respectful nature lover, and offers a unique guest experience where you can overnight in a private camp. Your host Andi and her team live in tents alongside 4 lions in a shady grove situated on the side of a rocky mountain. Join them for sundowners on a boulder overlooking the Eastern Free State's beautiful valleys and mountains followed by a braai around their campfire.

Accommodation is available in 3 structured tents which are each able to accommodate 2 adults, and are individually styled and furnished. The bathroom is located between 5 and 30 m away from the tents in a rock-side setting and is fitted with a shower. Guests will be sleeping in comfortable tents alongside lion enclosures is a treat.

This experience, although thoroughly special, is very ordinary in the sense that it is truly the everyday living space and routine of Andi and the team. The tented kitchen is self-catering so feel free to bring along extra snacks and breakfast.
