Lion Sands River Lodge

Classic A deluxe lodge or tented camp, almost all with swimming pools, excellent food and service, large nicely appointed rooms or tents with comfortable beds and tasteful decor; most of the lodges have air-conditioning and the tents are usually fan-cooled.

Lion Sands River Lodge is located on the banks of the Sabi River in a lush forested area. Accommodations include 18 thatched air-conditioned bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor shower, private viewing deck and min-bar. The rooms are linked to the main public area by raised wooden walkways. The lodge offers guests a relaxing lounge and bar overlooking the river, two swimming pools (heated in the winter) with extensive decking, a secluded bird hide, Lalamuka Health Spa and gym, curio shop and open-air boma.

The soul of Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, this lodge has been family owned and operated since 1933. Activities offered are morning and night game drives, bush breakfast and dinners, guided bush walks, hippo drives and wildlife lectures. You should not miss the opportunity to stay overnight in one of the two “Tree Houses” (additional fee). Offering a unique experience, each Tree House exudes bush comfort with a comfortable canopy bed, toilet, and vanity table.
