Just got back for a 4 night stay at this magnificent Lodge and private game reserve adjoining the Kruger National Park. We had superb service and food and 7 land rover safari and one walk in the bush guided by Mike and our tracker Rector. Those guys really know their stuff and we saw so much including tracking both lions... More

The lion sands safari is one of the most spectacular places in the world! Nothing is too much and the staff will go to any length to provide you with the best service! The lodge is 6 star quality. The decor in the rooms feel like you're in the middle of the bush but with beautiful luxury amenities. The rangers... More

We stayed only one night at Lion Sands River Lodge, so this cannot be a full evaluation of the place. We had a very large room, with our names written in flowers on the bed when we arrived. Unfortunately, my companions name must have been misspelled in the paperwork, as it was wrong on the bed. Not a big problem,... More

From the moment I arrived I had an overwhelming sense of calm and serenity. The main living and reception areas have a zen like quality. The staff make you feel incredibly welcome and my lodge was stunning! One of the best beds I've slept in and the bathroom from the rain shower to the free standing bathtub designed for soaking...

All you need to know is that this 5 star lodge is truly focused on customer service, conservation, customer experience, and cleanliness. We were a large group and we split into two jeeps on our game drives. Feedback from both jeeps were that the ranger and tracker were very professional, extremely knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to education us on the... More

I am sure the rich and famous may do a little better but this place was the ultimate in all round satisfaction. The staff are the best encountered anywhere in the world. The rooms, the restaurant, the professional skill and knowledge of the Rangers, the wines, fresh fruits and above all to experience wildlife up close and often was beyond... More

I have been fortunate enough to travel to South Africa and to go on safari previously. On our trip Lion Sands, I was lucky enough to be able to travel with my youngest daughter, who is 17 years old. I will readily admit that I thoroughly enjoyed my previous Safari and the place where I stayed at the time immensely.... More

We cannot understand the person who had made such uncomplimentary comments who stayed here just before us. We are a party of 4 - my husband and I , our 19 yr old son and 88 yr old mother and all of us agree that our stay here was the most fabulous week we have ever had as it far... More

So many people told me safari would be amazing, so the benchmark was set pretty high in terms of expectations. Now I understand. All the positive reviews here I can mirror, so no need to repeat all the worthy praise. Let me add to with my impressions with salient bullet points! - NOTHING ever too much trouble. We arrived at...
