The Lodge

Lion Sands is a place that enriches one’s soul. It is an extraordinary gift passed down over generations and even for those of us who have known its sweeping landscapes since birth, it remains a place of overwhelming beauty and discovery. In the heart of the game-rich Sabi Sand Reserve and the world-renowned Kruger National Park, we have created an iconic destination with Lion Sands enjoying traversing rights in both Sabi Sand and the Kruger National Park.

Enjoy the African bush in lavish comfort and style here in Sabi Sand. At River Lodge, guests can appreciate extraordinary wildlife and marvel at the wonderful riverside view of the famed Sabi River.

The Reserve is family owned and managed by the 4th generation More family.

The Lion Sands River Lodge is ideal for guests who like to enjoy their safari holidays amongst a fair number of other interest-sharing guests, since it has a total of 20 rooms and suites to accommodate a maximum of 40 guests.
