The lodge, service and game drives are perfect. The lodge (and the other accomodations) in SA have take COVID-measures. These are comparable to standards in the EU or above. And in the bush you are mainly outside. There is one reason why you should travel NOW! Currently are only very limited or no international tourist in SA. That makes game drives special. In the Sabi Sands region are usually only very limited cars at a sighting. But now, the bush is yours.

Wow, superb, awesome. What a magnificent place! Our accomodation was out of this world, we were lucky enough to stay in the River Suite and it is unbelievable. The accomodation, food, staff were all of such a high standard. Greg our Ranger and Ranius our ranger were incredible, they missed nothing and found us incredible sightings. Thanks you for an unbelievably memorable 4 days. The staff there are incredible and our butler Ben was just incredible. Thank you Lion Sands River Lodge. We will be back.

Covid 19 has been a nightmare, but one BIG silver lining was the ability to go to Lion Sands for a long weekend. It is absolutely unbelievable. From the outstanding game/bird viewing to the extremely comfortable/tasteful accommodation, outstanding food, very high service levels it is difficult to describe how good Lion Sands is. We have travelled extensively to game lodges in SA and Africa, and this is one of the very best - the best in Sabi Sands in our opinion. Will never forget the very special tree house sleep out. The More family are doing a lot right here!

It’s been a week since we left Lion Sands River Lodge and I feel like I’ve left a piece of my heart there... I can’t stop thinking about the amazing experiences we had- Mostly thanks to two very special people and this review is mostly dedicated to them... Lee and Surprise You both made our trip so memorable. Thanks for spoiling us with the most incredible sightings. Thanks for your awesome attitude - You guys make a great team. You made us all feel so welcome. Be sure to request Lee and Surprise as your Guide and Tracker when you book! You will definitely not be disappointed - In Fact, you’ll leave craving more and I can promise you, you’ll be back, purely just to go on a drive with these two again! THANK YOU LEE AND SURPRISE!!!

We absolutely loved our experience at Lion Sands River Lodge, it was EPIC! The lodge is beautifully decoratde and the staff extremely nice and friendly! We've been super lucky to see lots of wild animals, including the leopard!! The room was outstanding with a direct view into the wild: we had a hippo swimming in front of us! The food was good but could be enhanced to meet a 5-star rating, notably the deserts. We definitely recommend this Lodge!
