Kruger National Park, Lion Sands is
the only property to have substantial access to the perennial
Sabie River, ensuring an awesome diversity of wildlife through

at the River Lodge.

situated in the Southern portion of the 65,000-hectare Sabi Sand
Game Reserve (southern Kruger National Park region), an area well
known for its spectacular game viewing.
Lion Sands has exclusive access to
the Sabie River. From its source high up in the Drakensburg
mountain range where it passes through the famous Mac Mac falls,
the river through Lion Sands teems
with wildlife. It is the definitive safari experience. The
relatively cool riverbanks offer a brief respite from the
relentless African sun. Splendid parades of animals pass through
to quench their thirst at the water's edge.

Sabie River, a setting where game viewing can be done from the
luxury of one's private suite, Africa's finest.
The reception building is apart from the main lodge, ensuring that
guests arrive and depart without compromising the privacy of the
lodge experience. The main lodge & entrance building comprise a
private lounge & bar, wooden viewing decks, board-room, wine
cellar, gymnasium & health spa, curio shop & both an indoor and
open-air (Boma) dining area.

Afro-European elegance. It is a bold, yet balanced ambience that
