We have nothing but words of excellence about this fantastic game lodge! Lion Sands is situated in the renowned Sabi Sands Reserve. On arrival at the lodge, we were welcomed at the car park with "secret recipe" drinks, warm face cloths... That's as much as we are going to share about their many "tlc surprises", as we do not wish to spoil the experience for the next traveller. We spent two awesome evenings at the lodge, with Game Ranger Gawie attending to our every need with the greatest of care. Our sightings included a leopard passing the safari vehicle at such close range that we could touch it, a pride of lions with cubs, and a lion kill. Gawie was not only a most gracious host during our stay, but displayed a genuine passion for the bush and its inhabitants. Our room had an en-suite bathroom and outside shower with veranda. Admittedly, the rooms are smaller than many other game lodges, but we did not require more space in order to experience the great ambience of the lodge. The food was outstanding, and the meal / snack times so frequent that it would be impossible to ever feel hungry during the day. All in all value for money and a place to return to!
PS. If you're into birding, Gawie is your man, so request to be grouped with him when you book your stay.
