Every experience at Lion Sands connects you deeper to the wilderness
We had an amazing stay at Lion Sands River Lodge. The location is absolutely stunning, overlooking a busy section of the river where wildlife was always passing through.
Absolutely unforgettable stay. The lodge itself is stunning – so luxurious, and everybody is so friendly and caters for your every need.
The accommodations and whole river lodge are beautiful. We enjoyed the pool, the bar area, our gorgeous room and bath tub, and the many snacks and meals served at the lodge.
