Lion Sands

The award winning Lion Sands is the only private reserve to have access to the perennial Sabie River, which it shares with Kruger National Park. There are four separate and beautiful lodges here, so there’s always one that will suite one’s taste!

Lion Sands River Lodge consists of twenty rooms in total: twelve luxury suites and eight superior luxury suites, all with their own private wooden viewing deck looking out over the Sabi River. You may not need to leave the privacy of your room to see wildlife roaming around River Lodge. The Sabi Sands, and especially the surroundings of the Sabi River, is famous for its record number of leopard sightings. Your luxury suite features a king-sized bed and large en suite bathroom (with both indoor and outdoor showers). Of course all suites are air-conditioned. The suite will serve as your tranquil haven during your stay at Lion Sands River Lodge. The communal areas and rooms are connected by raised wooden boardwalks.

‘Stunningly beautiful’ is the best statement to introduce Lion Sands Ivory Lodge in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The lodge is located on the banks of the Sabi River. Lion Sands Ivory Lodge is probably also the lodge with the most unique design. The lodge is a little different compared to most other safari lodges in the Sabi Sands. Ivory and black colours lead the design frenzy, resulting in just eight luxury villas and one two bedroom villa with a feeling of zen.

Lion Sands Tinga Lodge consists out of nine suites, all located on the banks of the Sabi River providing breathtaking views of the river. The luxurious suites give you the opportunity to escape from daily routine for a moment. Being on the riverside gives you the chance to see wildlife in their natural habitat. Furthermore, Lion Sands Tinga is located within the world famous Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve. Relax for a moment at the poolside, or enjoy scrumptious dinners of otherworldy standards. All suites are equipped with a fully stocked mini bar and spacious bedrooms. Moreover, your private luxury suite has an outdoor shower. Lion Sands is home to the Big Five and an staggering variety of other game which can be observed during your stay.

Lion Sands Narina Lodge is situated in the southern section of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The lodge is constructed on stilts, unobtrusively blending between the riverine trees on the banks of the Sabie River. The main lounge, bar, wine cellar and library are decorated in a true African Safari style, with some furnishings huddled around the fire place and the rest making full use of the open sided section, which becomes the extensive viewing deck. Just nine spacious thatched suites are connected to the main building by raised wooden walkways. Each suite is fully air-conditioned with mini bars, personal safes, satellite tv, telephones and dvd players. The en-suite bathrooms have double vanities, outdoor showers and large free-standing bath tubs with views of the river. The bedrooms open onto private viewing decks and secluded plunge pools.
