Lion Sands River Lodge, South Africa

Contact a specialist about Lion Sands River Lodge, South Africa

This is a fantastic lodge in the Sabi Sands and one that we have used time and time again for our guests. I found the service to be incredible and the food was impeccable. I expected the rooms to be larger but they are beautifully decorated and the walkways allow for a distinct bush feel. The main areas are luxurious appointed. The selling point of this lodge is by far is location on the river and its opportunities for game viewing from the deck areas. I would have no hesitation in recommending this lodge. It is of an extremely high standard and the guiding is excellent.

Lion Sands Private Game Reserve is located in the finest territory of the world famous Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga. Forming part of the greater Kruger National Park, the reserve has no fences and the wildlife is able to traverse freely between Lion Sands and the Kruger National Park. River Lodge is the soul of Lion Sands and has been built on the banks of the Sabie River, positioned on a site with trees dating back 800 years. Facing due east, the lodge catches the sun as it rises over the Kruger National Park. Hosted by a family of staff that make it feel like home away from home, the lodge is about spirit, warmth and nature. Here you are invited to relax and experience African hospitality at its finest.
