Lion Sands River Lodge

Each lodge on the reserve has an on-site Africology spa so you never have to look far for a little relaxation. Expert therapists will massage, moisturise and polish every inch of you until you feel like an entirely new person, using a range of luxury body, skin and beauty products.

If you want to feel fabulous throughout your stay without hopping in the spa every day, why not enjoy some yoga at sunrise? Or make use of the hotel’s state-of-the-art gym equipment and sweat it out while overlooking the wilderness of the savannah below you.

For a truly exceptional evening, spend a night in one of the Sabi Sands breathtaking treehouse accommodations. Particularly effective for those with a feel for romance, this experience is not one to be missed. Guests are led to their treehouse at sunset and greeted by a decadent picnic dinner surrounded by candlelit lanterns, creating a rosy glow that is sure to set the right mood. After a full orientation from your guide, you will be left alone to enjoy the seclusion and digital detox downtime of this remote apartment. Take it all in from the heights as you lie on a bed covered by nothing but an elegant mosquito net with only the Milky Way for a ceiling.

The most obvious, but undoubtedly the best, of activities at Lion Sands has got to be its world-class game drives, walks and night-time safaris. With experiences and highly professional guides, rangers and trackers leading you every step of the way, you can be sure that this experience will be an unforgettable one. Game drives are conducted in Lion Sands exclusive 4x4 safari vehicles which guests can exclusively hire seating up to six guests at a time. Drives and walks take place in the early mornings and evenings when the local wildlife is at its most active. Night safaris take place after the sun goes down and that’s when the fun really starts – but don’t be scared, your knowledgeable guides have done this a hundred time before.
