White Lion

Unique holiday experience 

Villa White Lion is located in a private estate in Hoedspruit, covering 1000 hectares, of which 650 hectares are still pristine nature. The Zandspruit Bush & Aero Estate is only accessible to those staying on the estate. You can discover the zebras, giraffes, impalas, and nyalas at your own pace and in complete tranquility. From the covered patio or the pool, you can sometimes spot the animals.

The holiday villa is a detached villa, ideal for up to 6 people. The villa has 2 ‘Master bedrooms’ and 1 regular bedroom. Both ‘Master bedrooms’ have their own bathroom with a bath, shower, and an outdoor shower. The third bedroom has its own bathroom with a shower. This makes the villa perfect for large families as well as for 2 or 3 couples.

Outside, you can relax by the heated private pool with comfortable sunbeds. Under the covered patio, you can enjoy an aperitif in the lounge chairs or dine outside at the large wooden table with a barbecue.

Our villa has recently been finished and is available for booking from end of April 2025.

Living room

Unwind and relax

The living room features a spacious, comfortable seating area with a stunning view of the pool and the bush. Through the sliding doors, you have direct access to the covered patio and the pool.
