Start Planning
A visit to Lion Sands can completely restore your energy and allow you to truly relax. When you’re right on the Sabie River, watching the animals, surrounded by bush and sky, you really feel like you’ve escaped from the world.
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.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.
