PRE & POST TOURS - LION SANDS

Sample itinerary for Lion Sands Private Game Reserve - 3 nights

Lion Sands Private Game Reserve is situated in the Southern portion of the 65,000-hectare Sabi Sand Game Reserve (southern Kruger National Park region), an area well known for its spectacular game viewing. Lion Sands has exclusive access to the Sabie River, which flows right past the Lodge where you will be living in luxury during your stay. It is the definitive safari experience.

The relatively cool riverbanks offer a brief respite from the relentless African sun. Splendid parades of animals pass through to quench their thirst at the water’s edge whilst eager predators wait patiently. It is a sanctuary of life and a gripping display of survival. It is what visitors from all over the world come to experience, raw untouched nature. It is this, complemented by Five Star service, that makes a visit to Lion Sands so special.
