Just nine spacious thatched suites are connected to the main building by raised wooden walkways. Each suite is fully air-conditioned with mini bars and personal safes. The en-suite bathrooms have double vanities, outdoor showers and large free-standing bath tubs with views of the river. The bedrooms open onto private viewing decks and secluded plunge pools.

The Lion Sands Luxury Treehouses are the ultimate bush bedrooms. Arrive at sunset to a scrumptious picnic dinner, and spend the hours of dusk fully appreciating the vastness of the bushveld as it transforms from day to night. Slumber directly beneath the Milky Way where you may well lose count of the shooting stars. The Treehouses at Lion Sands are for the hopeless romantic (ideal as a wedding or anniversary treat), the adventurer, the person who needs a complete disconnect and digital detox, or the wildlife enthusiast who prefers the bush au-natural. All of the Treehouses are securely constructed above the ground, where animals will remain at a safe and comfortable distance. Our Field Guide will provide a full orientation when he drops guests off before sunset, and will remain on call via the radio left behind until it is time to leave the following morning after sunrise and a good cup of coffee!

Relax on the lodge deck as you enjoy an expertly prepared breakfast or lunch, while you watch the resident wildlife that come to the Sabie River come to drink. Dinner consists of African-inspired dishes and barbecues, paired with fine South African wines, served in the outdoor boma around a mesmerising campfire.

When you aren’t enjoying thrilling game drives, spend a relaxing afternoon at Lion Sands Narina Lodge. Browse souvenirs at the safari shop or cool off in the swimming pool while enjoying the spectacular views. The main lodge area offers a large wooden river deck where you can enjoy sightings of the wildlife that come to the river to drink, as well as a cosy lounge and bar area where you can relax in comfort.
