Kruger National Park Safari to Lion Sands

Discover a sanctuary for wildlife and astonishing natural beauty at the award-winning Lion Sands River Lodge in the Greater Kruger National Park safari mecca. Where sheer tranquillity removes you from that stressful life, where premium accommodation and game drives in the famous private Sabi Sands Concession leave you forever in awe.

Lions Sands River Lodge South Africa boasts unrivalled views over the Sabi River – boldly luxurious with attention to detail for a safari of a lifetime in the sensational Sabi Sands bordering Kruger.  

Lion Sands is large and modern but remains earthy and fits into the wild setting of the South African bushveld.  Appreciate two delightful refreshing swimming pools (heated in winter), vast polished wooden viewing decks, secluded bird hide and Africology Health Spa & gymnasium.

We love Lion Sands River Lodge, an eden for rediscovery of self and nature. Recently renovated, this famous safari lodge has introduced a new sense of brightness and space, of modern amenities and natural materials.

Lion Sands Kruger National park

Lion Sands is a wilderness destination that enriches the soul and promises life-changing moments and opportunities. Unforgettable experiences. Africa is an extraordinary sweeping landscape of beauty and discovery. And River Lodge is part of that – a cultured reflection of the traditional safari lodge, with sunshine and air, bright modern decor, and few walls to allow everything natural inside. 

Lion Sands River Lodge 8 Luxury Rooms, 6 Superior Luxury Rooms and 4 River Suites, spaced out along the river on a beautiful, manicured path. Private, rustic chic and so tasteful you are in a paradise bush hotel. Luxury rooms offer king size beds, deep bathtubs at the window, private decks and wide folding glass doors. 

The River Suites are further away from the lodge and other suites and especially exclusive and remote, each featuring delightful plunge pools. They can include a family suite if children come along.
