The lodge

Lion Sands is not just one lodge—it’s a curated collection of four exclusive safari lodges, offering guests a seamless blend of luxury, adventure, and sustainability. Three of these stunning properties are located within the prestigious Sabi Sand Game Reserve, and the fourth sits just across the river in the world-famous Kruger National Park.

Whether you’re drawn to the classic elegance of Ivory Lodge, the riverside serenity of River Lodge, the family-friendly charm of Tinga Lodge, or the private, romantic setting of Narina Lodge, Lion Sands provides a tailored safari experience for every type of traveller.

One of the standout properties is that all the Lion Sands Safari Lodges, are perched along the banks of the Sabie River. Here, guests enjoy front-row access to the Big Five, with frequent sightings of leopards, lions, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo in their natural habitat.

Each suite across the Lion Sands collection features a private plunge pool, outdoor shower, and expansive viewing deck, all designed to maximize privacy and immersion in nature—without sacrificing comfort. Interiors are tastefully appointed with king-size beds, elegant finishes, and a soothing palette that reflects the surrounding bushveld.

Twice-daily game drives are led by expert rangers and trackers, known for their deep respect for wildlife and commitment to ethical off-road viewing practices.
