À vivre

Set at the heart of the Sabi Sand private reserve, bordering Kruger National Park, Lion Sands River Lodge stretches along the Sabie River, a true lifeline for local wildlife. This iconic lodge enjoys an exceptional location, renowned for Big Five sightings.
The style blends contemporary elegance with traditional safari inspiration. Light-filled open spaces create a constant connection with the surrounding nature. Wood, light tones and wide openings let the landscape in.
Here, luxury remains understated. The experience is built on immersion: watching animals from your own terrace, listening to the river, living at the pace of the bush. The atmosphere is both intimate and warm, shaped by a tradition of family hospitality long established in the region.

Layout

The lodge is organised around a central space opening onto the river, with a lounge, dining room, bar and several panoramic terraces.
Two pools offer direct views over the Sabie River, while an outdoor boma hosts dinners under the stars.
Wooden walkways connect the different parts of the camp, creating a smooth flow through the vegetation.
The lodge also has a shop, a gallery, a wellness area and observation spaces, including a photographic hide.
The whole design favours openness to nature and a convivial atmosphere.

Children are accepted from age 10.
