Overview

Sip sundowners on an open terrace next to a roaring campfire with Kilimanjaro as the back drop, followed by dinner overlooking a small water hole visited by a family of elephants. Sleep in a hand-made four poster bed in crisp cotton sheets and awake to Africa's incredible sunrise, ready to enjoy a game drive or bush walk before a hearty breakfast ..perhaps in the bush.. and you have begun to conjure up the magic that is Lions Bluff. Because we are small, we can tailor-make your safari experience to suit your needs.

Nature & Kind Factor

Lions Bluff is redoing many of its facilities in order to make the whole lodge far more eco-friendly. So far they have succeeded by installing solar power water heaters into all of the rooms and recycling all of the water that comes from the showers and the kitchens.
