Hotel Details

‘Roaring lions at dawn, breathtaking scenery, superb accommodation’

Lion Sands Private Game Reserve occupies a scenic stretch of part of the vast, expansive Sabi Sand Game Reserve, its southern boundary sharing with Kruger National Park. 10.5km of Sabie River frontage graces this amazing wilderness, giving an impressive vista where wildlife graze freely across the two reserves. There is no shortage of on-site luxury within either of the two lodge types at Lion Sands; both blend seamlessly into this wonderful naturalistic environment, creating the perfect safari base.
