LION SANDS PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
KRUGER NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH AFRICA
Having the particular distinction of being the only reserve in South
Africa to introduce a safari in the Sabie and Sand River ecosystems,
the Lions Sand Game Reserve is situated in the Southern Sabi Sand
Game Reserve and Kruger National Park. This respected reserve is
currently owned by the 4th generation of the More Family.
The Lion Sands Reserve provides the ultimate Treehouse experi-
ence, in three different tailor-made stays. Located across a small
drawbridge, the Kingston treehouse allows you to fully experience
the natural wonders that Africa has to offer. The treehouse is
furnished with a complete bathroom set with shower facilities
and Africology products. In addition, guests will also have the
opportunity to take pleasure in a gourmet picnic. The original
treehouse of Sabi Sand, Chalkley provides a five-star comfort
stay and mesmerising views to the stars. With a bush bedroom,
guests will be able to come into close contact with the wandering
animals below. Lastly, the Tinyeleti Treehouse offers the greatest
overnight experience in the wild. Visitors can watch the sunset go
down while sipping on a lovely cocktail. The deck of the treehouse
measures 50m2 and can accommodate four people.
Lions Sands Game Reserve has four luxurious lodges that evoke
an idiosyncratic feeling of simplicity and elegance. Besieged by a
bush environment, the Ivory Lodge is an earthly retreat filled with
natural materials. Its timeless design is conceived through the
composition of a wide variety of materials, like steel, sand, thatch,
wood, etc. The interiors are described as mid-century modern with
striking ambient designs that lead to an overall cutting-edge décor
with tribal influences and textured finishes.
The Tinga Lodge is a relaxing source of inspiration that transports
you into your own private world. Overlooking the Sabie River
and the inhabiting animals, the lodge has nine glamorous suites
equipped with jaw-dropping amenities. The main areas of the
Narina Lodge are interconnected to the nine private suites through
raised wooden walkways.
The lodge is positioned in awe-inspiring scenery of ancient trees,
natural landscapes and the Sabie River, whatever activity one may
be doing. A simple glance up allows one to be marvelled by these
phenomenal surroundings. To truly understand the magnificence
of the River Lodge, one must experience it as it delivers unobstruct-
ed views to the natural world of Sabi Sands. It has twelve luxury
rooms, six superior rooms and two private river suites that guar-
antee a comfortable ambience as if one was in their own home.
“Lion Sands has been our home for
four generations and is therefore
deeply ingrained in our DNA. With
this in mind, we began our journey of
redesigning the Ivory Lodge experience.
We took our cue from the passion
and appreciation we have for the
environment, and how we have been
fortunate enough to savour it in the
comfort of our own private lodge, 1933.”
