Lion Sands River Lodge

The top tier of South African safari — Lion Sands is the only private reserve seated between the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Kruger National Park, with four modern lodges and two private villas along the Sabie River as home base. Twice-daily guided drives promise minimal human contact in some of the richest big-five country on the continent; an extensive spa menu and the reserve's famous reservable treehouses — open platforms floating above the grassland for a night under the stars — round out the stay. Meals are elaborate affairs arranged with the kitchen and served on the grounds, with the wildlife for company. Booked for you by an affiliated travel advisor.
