We stayed for 6 nights at the Sands River lodge and had a fantastic holiday. Our guide met us at the landing strip and stayed with us for all 6 days. He was an amazing guide, who had such brilliant knowledge of all the animals, birds and plants, we could not have hoped for anyone better. We stayed in three... more

We were met in mid July on the slightly bumpy Kiba airstrip by Richard, our guide, and had a short game drive back to the lodge seeing some new birds on the way. Having seen the Northern Circuit and Ruaha on this tour we needed a change of scene. As has been typical everywhere, we got a lovely warm welcome... more

We were lucky enough to see in the New Year 2008 at Sand Rivers in the excellent company of Storm, Rob, Richard, fellow guests plus an elephant that decided to join us! Sand Rivers was our first safari experience and our first 3 night stop in a 3 week long holiday to Tanzinia and Zanzibar. We were unprepared for the... more

The prior review has described our stay perfectly - it was amazing. Agree that Storm, Rob and Ross left us with memories we'll keep for ever given all they do for the guests. more

He introduced us to our options, then we took a game drive through the selous back to Sandrivers. On arrival we met Antonia who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. In fact... more

We stayed at Sand Rivers during christmas and had a fantastic time. This is truly a paradise and the best Safari Lodge we have ever visited. From the open bandas you hear the noises of the hippos during the night. All the bandas have lovely views of the River, and are beautifully decorated. The public areas are also fantastic. There... more

We stayed at Sand Rivers for three nights and did not want to leave. The first thing you notice is the informality of the place, feeling more like a private home than a lodge. There are only 8 thatched cottages in the lodge so you get to know everybody fairly well (you meet for drinks in the evening and share... more
