From the well designed lodgings to the excellent food and the phenomenal staff, I highly recommend Lion Sands game reserve.  We’ve gone out on safari several times, and our guides have found us everything we were hoping to find… Elephants, leopards, warthogs, hippos, etc.  This afternoon I enjoyed the best massage. I think I’ve ever had! The prices are extremely reasonable for spa services. The attention you get from the staff staff is superb. If you have an opportunity to go, I recommend you do so!

Yes!!!  Go!!!  Don’t hesitate!!!

We stayed here for 3 nights, early October. We had the most amazing time - we were taken care of from the moment we landed in Cape Town to being taken back to Skukuza airport. The staff are immense and very attentive. Every detail is carefully thought about. The safari drives were awesome - Mitch and Abraham were the best guide/tracker we could have asked for - we had some great lion and rhino encounters, saw elephants and hippos (both at the lodge by lunch/dinner and in the wild), leopards, giraffes and all the other stuff! We also stayed a night in the treehouse which is an unrivalled experience. Surreal! We were gutted to leave and have very fond memories that we will never forget.

Epic!

Been a number of times. What can I say... The best all round. From food to drives to staff. The game viewing is outstanding and the place will drop your jaw. Well worth a visit at least once in your life

The only lodge in the Sabi Sands to visit

True to its price, this lodge is the best I've ever stayed in. It was so luxurious and clean, and new of course. I enjoyed my stay here so much that I didn't want to leave. I wasn't so lucky in the safari though, didn't see many animals, but i love how attentive they were, they provided hand warmers for the morning drive, books about animal tracks (which actually was redundant because who has time to read books while doing game drive, but was thoughtful), and safari journal (this was really helpful). They also had a wide range of drink choices for the safari breaks. While other game reserve lodges normally limit the drinking water, you can never go thirsty here. If i remember correctly, they provided 4 bottles of drinking water in every room, and they have drinking water taps and coffee machines near the bar (i think it was in the lounge), plus everything in the mini bar was included. I didn't really like the dinner as it was outside while it was windy and so the dust got into my food, although the food was good. I really liked the breakfast though. I liked all the places there, too bad i didn't have much time to enjoy everything as i was there for 1 day only. The staffs were also very polite and professional.

Best lodge

This was my very first safari. We stayed at the Lion Sands River lodge in July 2018 for 3 nights.  Once we arrived from Skukuza airport from Capetown where we had started our safari adventure, all I can say is "WOW".  I was totally blown away.  The vista of the Sabi River alongside the Lodge and the open viewing rooms, bar, dining rooms were impeccably flawless in the decor.  We walked into our rooms to an incredible den of luxury and comfort including a wet bar and snacks which were all included.  Indoor and outdoor (weather permitting- it was the African wintertime in July) showers for each room, as well as a full tub to soak after a long dusty game drive.  Laundry services are available for a nominal fee and returned the same day.  WiFi was available in the lobby area.
The day starts early where you have tea/coffee, muffins and some fruit, then off for the morning game drive.  The drivers and trackers are polite and very informative.  I didn't have any expectations for my very first safari, but if I had any, this place would have exceeded them.  I heard about the Big 5 animals you have to see in Africa, and we saw all of them (Rhino, Elephants, Leopard, African Cape Buffalo, Lions).  All of the drivers are in contact with other groups so they all help out with sightings so that all of the guests have a chance to see wildlife.
The food was outstanding in quality and quantity.  Presentation was flawless.  I had the chance to also take in a spa treatment at the Ivory Lodge which was most relaxing and a short drive from the River Lodge where I was staying.
The sundowners ( "happy hour" in the African bush) at the end of the afternoon game drives was outstanding.  Offerings of wine, beer, water or soft drinks were available as well as gourmet styled snack foods to munch on while we all watched the African sunset.
The staff was incredible and polite. The game drive vehicles are comfortable and well maintained.  I would definitely want to come back again.  Kudos to our driver Morne and Rector in getting the big 5 for us.

Glamping in the South African Bush

One life’s best experiences both from the safari experience and outstanding 5 star accomodation; the food was faultless as well.
The professional guides gave us the full experience as well as sharing their knowledge.
