Lion Sands game reserve is situated in the southern part of the 65,000ha Sabi Sand Game Reserve, an area well known for its spectacular game viewing being at the confluence of two major rivers, the Sabie and the Sand rivers. Lion Sands has been in the More family since 1932 and has exclusive access to the Sabie river which runs through their private concession attracting plenty of wildlife. The Lion Sands safari philosophy is to offer an informative and holistic safari experience, ensuring that all spheres of the eco-system, from the smallest insects to the mighty African elephant are viewed as a whole.

Lion Sands River Lodge is built, not unsurprisingly, on the banks of the Sabie River. It faces due east catching the sun as it rises over Kruger National Park. River lodge is warm and friendly with an emphasis on relaxation. The 20 luxurious thatched bedrooms have recently been completed redone expanding the floor space to a generous 62m² and revamping the bathrooms. They are decorated in neutral tones in a soft understated style each with en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, minibar, telephone & deck. The rooms are linked to all areas by raised wooden walkways. They have also built two family chalets which each have two bedrooms and one bathroom and come with the exclusive use of a private landrover.

The attractive main lodge comprises a private lounge and bar, a magnificent game-viewing deck which is cantilevered over the Sabi River and several alfresco dining areas. There are two swimming pools - one close to the lodge and one more secluded, a bird hide, hammocks strategically placed for game-viewing, as well as a gym & health spa, curio shop and boma.

Due to the long history of sensitive game-viewing, the wildlife is mostly relaxed in the Sabi Sand game reserve allowing for excellent viewing and photographic opportunities. It is particularly known for its big cats, especially leopard viewing. Open 4x4 game drives and interpretative game walks are enjoyed with an experienced ranger and Shangaan tracker team.
