Beautiful setting and in the evening you heard the lions roar

We had a fantastic stay at the Pinewood Camping Pods and were very impressed overall. A small thing to note is that the main car park is on the opposite side of the bridge, so you may need to walk over with your luggage. The resort does offer a shuttle service, but it’s worth arranging this in advance. The food was excellent. We ate at the Garden Room and were really impressed with both the quality and the range of options, especially for children. We also had dinner at the Bear Lodge restaurant, where the food and service were equally good. Throughout our stay, the staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The atmosphere around the reserve is beautiful and makes for a very relaxing break. If you’re travelling with children, it’s worth checking the buggy policy before booking. The reserve is quite hilly and some routes, particularly the Trojan Steps, can be challenging with a pram and young children. A buggy would have been incredibly useful during our stay in a Pinewood Pod, but we were unable to access one as they appear to be reserved for certain accommodation types. This was the only downside of an otherwise excellent experience. Overall, a wonderful stay with great food, amazing service, and a unique setting. We’d happily return.

Great location we could see the lions from our room! Only slight downside was the sofa bed was a little on the uncomfortable side, but we had a great time and the staff were great too.

Wonderful experience and accommodation
