The Details
With 5,000 hectares of wilderness in this private concession within the world-renowned Kruger National Park, you can explore off-road, follow in the footsteps of a leopard, track down a herd of elephants, or simply wait for them to come to you.
Lion Sands' Narina Lodge offers a wonderful sense of remoteness and peace. Its nine luxury suites perch on stilts among 100-year-old trees just above the Sabie River. These suites are linked to a spa sala and intimate lodge via elevated walkways. The shared space is enhanced by natural décor and open design, extending out to generously furnished decks. From here, you can watch animals feeding on the opposite bank, engage in social conversations this inevitably stirs, or meditate on the rustling leaves.
The suites are designed to afford complete privacy in a wilderness setting where you can watch animals come down to the river from your pool, deck, bed, and bath. Glass sliding doors and windows open up your sanctuary to the outdoors, while a romantic canopy bed, sink-into-me couches, an egg bath for indulgent relaxation, and a personal bar all enhance the delight of being in Africa – in style.
