Introduction

Lion Sands River Lodge in the Lion Sands Reserve is situated in one of the finest wilderness areas (the World famous Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve) in the Southern Kruger National Park region.

The experience of the lodge is all about spirit, warmth, nature & relaxation.

Reserve Information

Situated within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Lions Sands Game Reserve borders the Kruger National Park and offers travellers some of the best wildlife and birdlife found anywhere on the African continent.

The southern area of the Sabi Sand is home to the largest concentration of wild animal species in the Southern Hemisphere.

There is simply no words to explain the wildlife that can be seen in this region - to say amazing would be an understatement.

Rooms and Suites

Twenty suites are available at Lion Sands River Lodge, consisting of twelve luxury suites and eight superior suites all offering fantastic views out over the Sabie River and surrounding bushveld.

All luxury suites offer a private verandah, king-sized beds (draped in mosquito netting), air-conditioning and large en-suite bathrooms.

Superior suites offer more space and indoor and outdoor showers in addition to what luxury suites have on offer.

Cuisine and Wine

The culinary experience is unique with all meals being prepared by the lodge's celebrated chef, with all ingredients ranging from zebra to crocodile (for the less adventurous there is also a selection of international dishes).

Breakfasts and lunches are usually taken on the River Island Deck overlooking the Sabie River. Dinners, on the other hand, are served up in a few unique locations, including the open-air boma, out in the bush under the African stars or even on your our private verandah.

An excellent selection of South African and international wines is also on offer.

Lodge Facilities

Exceptional public areas offer guests a space in which to sit back and relax and catch up on some news, the comfortable lounge and bar areas are the envy of surrounding lodges.
