Overview of Lion Sands River Lodge
Lion Sands River Lodge is located in the renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Sabi Sand borders the world-famous Kruger National Park; together, they form 2.7 million hectares of protected wilderness. Game roams freely between the reserves, creating one of Africa’s most bio-diverse wildlife populations.
Explore the area on morning and late afternoon game drives in the care of experienced rangers and trackers. Encounter the Big 5 as well as – if your luck is in – magnificent wild dog and cheetah. Leopards are the main attraction in the Sabi area, which boasts an unrivalled record for the regularity and quality of sightings.
Departing at sunrise for your first game drive makes the bountiful breakfast on return to the lodge very welcome. The best digestive aid is a guided nature walk, which provides a refreshingly intimate perspective on the bush. African afternoons are designed for utter relaxation: lounge at the pool, soak up the views of the Sabie River from your suite, or indulge your senses at the spa.

Expert Opinion

Liesel van Zyl
Product Manager
'The staff here are very professional and welcoming, from the lodge manager and ranger to your butler. I recommend leaving your door open at night with the screen closed so you can hear the hippos and nightjars from the comfort and safety of your beautiful suite.'
