Sample itinerary for Lion Sands
Private Game Reserve - 3 nights
OVERVIEW
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.
