Accommodation

Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, recently awarded ‘Best Hotel in the World 2006’ by Tatler magazine, has six ultra-luxurious villas with private plunge-pools and deck overlooking the river, bringing something different to the traditional lodge experience.

The Lodge has been built on the banks of the Sabie River with magnificent views extending onto the open sand banks of the Kruger National Park.

Recreation

Game drives by open top Land Rovers and bush walks are daily activities with experienced rangers, while bush breakfasts and campfire dining create a romantic ‘Out of Africa’ experience.

If the time of year is right, th Full Moon walks, which can only be taken during the week of the full moon when there is enough light to walk along the various bush paths without the assistance of a torch, are unmissable.
