About the Lodge
Sabi Sands Game Reserve, regarded by many as the "birthplace" of sustainable wilderness tourism and development in Sub-Saharan Africa, is understood by guests and staff to be a place of wilderness, wildlife and adventure. Home to an extensive cross-section of the Mpumalanga wildlife population, including the
Big Five and various endangered species, the park also shares 50 kilometers of its unfenced boundary line with neighbouring
Kruger National Park. Animals pass casually between the two parks, unhindered and abundant.
Lion Sands Private Game Reserve forms part of the greater Kruger National Park, unfenced and completely open to the free roaming wilderness and adventure of some of the greatest nature conservancy in South Africa.
Established in 1933,
Lion Sands Game Reserve has a long history of ownership within the More family. It has a wonderful reputation as the only reserve in the Sabi Sand with its own full time ecologist, responsible for the preservation of this area. Private and exclusive, Lion Sands Reserve is a unique and exciting safari experience.
Amidst a clump of trees dating back around 800 years, attached to the Sabi River and painted in the dappled light typical of Lion Sands Reserve, rests River Lodge - a family affair, this gorgeous lodge makes itself your home away from home. Comfortable, attractive, and peaceful, this is a dream safari lodge.
