I enjoyed my stay here. This is for people who are looking for more than great game viewing. The decor is very nice and rooms are probably more spacious than they need to be for two people. there is a spa as well, although I did not use it. Wifi is available although reception is spotty. Meals are more formal... More

We stayed at the Lion Sands River Lodge for three nights and wished we could have stayed longer we didn't want to leave! This was such a fabulous experience, we felt really spoilt and pampered. Our room was spacious with very comfortable bed and lovely bathroom; we often saw nyala outside our bedroom window which overlooked the river bed. The... More

We stayed at Lion Sands for 4 days in early April. After spending a few days in Cape Town, our safari portion was certainly the highlight of the trip. A 2.5-hour ride from the airport, Lion Sands is a jungle paradise. We were greeted by lavender towels and passion fruit iced tea and immediately introduced to our "butler" (who took... More

Stayed at River Lodge in September 2011, in a Superior Luxury Room. The rooms are absolutely fabulous, very spacious with a huge bath, also an outdoor shower which I loved! We enjoyed the outside deck where you can relax with a drink and look out towards the river. Impeccable service and great game viewing. The highlight of our stay was... More

Lion Sands was definitely a once in a lifetime experience and totally unforgettable. The staff, location and hotel were just amazing – exceeding all my expectations. Nothing was too much – well done to the More family for creating such a unique, hospitable and heavenly lodge. Our tracker Levi and ranger Kenneth gave us the most exhilarating safari experience; which... More

Lion Sands offers a superior Safari experience with accommodation, dining and service that exceeds previous vacations and world wide experience. We split our 4 nights between the River Lodge, the Ivory Lodge and even had a night in the Chalkley Treehouse. The River Lodge is great for families or if you’re doing a couple’s vacation. The lounge areas are open... More

Was in South Africa checking out game lodges for clients. Saw a handful in the Kruger, among them, Lion Sands River Lodge & Ivory Lodge. I felt like Goldilocks - many of the lodges ticked some boxes but not all. I found Lion Sands River Lodge to be a really nice blend of intimate, luxury lodge with attention to detail... More

Our stay here was a once in a lifetime experience. From beginning to end the whole staff here made this trip unforgettable. Syd was our tracker and we succeeded in seeing more than the Big 5. We saw leopards multiple times (which was my favorite). We took walks and saw giraffe, zebra, hippos, and much much more. We even saw... More

Had an amazing time at this place. This is my second safaro. If you combine both safaris, i saw the entire big 5, but on this trip, only saw 4 of them. The service here is outstanding. HUGE MAJOR BIG TIME thanks to johanes, chef faith, keneth & ray for amazing service. You wont regret your stay here!
