A fantastic weekend, would like to go back soon. Warmly welcomed by Rose on our arrival, made us feel special, and went out of the way to make the weekend special. The sanctuary is clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended.

Fabulous. Was very special to wake up and go to sleep with the sounds of the lions.

Was baie besonders om saam met die leeus se geluide wakker te word en te gaan slaap.

For us, a unique experience. Although the traffic on the provincial road can be distracting, we really enjoyed our stay. We opened the window tent flaps and slept like that. Was able to experience a full moon and sunrise in the bush from the comfort of our bed, with lions whose deep beautiful roars kept us company twice during the night. Will go again.

Vir ons, 'n unieke ervaring. Alhoewel die verkeer op die provinsiale pad steurend kan wees, het ons ons verblyf baie geniet. Ons het die venster tentflappe oopgemaak en so geslaap. Kon uit die gemak van ons bed 'n volmaan en sonsopkoms in die bosveld beleef, met leeus wie se diep pragtige gebrul ons so twee keer in die nag geselskap gehou het. Sal weer gaan.

Something special to be among the animals like that. Unbelievably beautiful environment. So nice to hear animals and they are walking distance away. Feel free to recommend for young and old. Owner is always available when you call.

Iets besonders om so tussen die diere te wees. Ongelooflike mooi omgewing. So lekker om diere te hoor en hul is stapafstand weg. Beveel gerus aan vir oud en jonk. Eienaar is altyd beskikbaar as jy bel.

Something unique and away from all noise. Marakele Animal Sanctuary is perfect to get away from it all. The safari tents are neat and everything you will need is there. I understand that solar power is used, but it would be nice if the fridge could be turned on on the day of arrival so that there is a cool place to store meat etc. to store. The customer service is also a bit chilly. Our overnight stay was part of a motorbike tour i.e. there is not much storage space. When I inquired if there was wood available for braai on the premises, the answer was that we must be checked in before a certain time (5pm?). The result is that we had to stop and buy wood to carve together. The service on arrival through Sydney had been good.

Iets unieks en weg van alle geraas. Marakele Animal Sanctuary is perfek om weg te kom van alles. Die safaritente is netjies en alles is daar wat jy sal nodig hê. Ek verstaan dat van sonkrag gebruik gemaak word, maar dit sal lekker wees as die yskas die dag van aankoms aangesit kan word sodat daar 'n koel plek is om vleis ens. te bêre. Die kliëntediens is ook 'n bietjie kil. Ons oorslaap was deel van 'n motorfiets toer m.a.w. daar is nie baie pakplek nie. Toe ek navraag doen of daar hout beskikbaar is vir braai op die perseel was die antwoord dat ons voor 'n sekere tyd (17:00?) ingeboek moet wees. Die gevolg is dat ons maar moes stop en hout koop om saam te karring. Die diens met aankoms deur Sydney was goed gewees.

Nice stay. The pool was broken when we were there. It's nice to hear the wild animals like that in the evenings. Accommodation was clean and tidy.

Lekker gebly. Die swembad was stukkend toe ons daar was. Dit is lekker om die wilde diere so in die aande te hoor. Verblyf was skoon en netjies.

Unique getaway. Very unique getaway, close to all the animals. Exciting experience for our child when you hear the lions roaring at night! Definitely worth it.

Unieke wegbreek. Baie unieke wegbreek, naby aan al die diere. Opwindende ervaring vir ons kind as mens die leeus hoor brul in die nag! Definitief die moeite werd.
