ACCOMMODATION AT SCHRIKKLOOF
We would very much appreciate your stay at Schrikkloof. With your stay you contribute in a big way to the well-being of the lions in our sanctuary The Lions Foundation. For accommodation, you have a choice of two suites and eight chalet rooms, all with airconditioning/heating. To ensure peace and quiet for all guests, there is no TV in the rooms – but there is one in the main lodge.
Suites
The two 50m2 luxury suites, Lion (our honeymoon suite) and Giraffe, are located on the first floor of the main lodge. Both have a private, lavish bathroom with bath and shower. The rooms have a very comfortable king size bed, a seating area, a fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. The south facing balconies overlook a big part of the estate.
Chalets
Three of our semi-detached chalets, Zebra, Elephant and Leopard, offer six beautifully decorated 50m2 rooms with private entrance, private bathroom featuring a bath with a view, and an outside shower. The chalets are situated on a path leading away from the lodge. They have private parking. The rooms have a comfortable king size or twin bed, a seating area, a fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. The balconies, also south faced, offer a relaxing view of the bushveld and the water hole.
One semi-detached chalet, Impala, offers the same features as the other three. There is ample room for another single bed. The chalet is located near the pool and the conference room. One room features a bath, the other an inside shower. The 50 m2 rooms have a private entrance but share the entrance path. The Impala is therefore ideal for a group of up to six people.

CHILD POLICY
We regret that we cannot allow children under the age of 12 at Schrikkloof. There are no safety measures for young children in place. Wild animals roam freely and could be a potential danger and the landscape has several precipices. Also, we have no babysitting facilities while parents are away on safari or visiting our lions. Our lions are all traumatized, so, for the children’s and lion’s safety, we do not allow children to visit them.
