Set along the banks of the famous Sabie River is a jeweled oasis of exquisite tranquility, the Soul of Lion Sands. Surrounded by approximately 2 million hectares of African wilderness and perched dramatically above the Sabie River, few places can compare with River Lodge. The finest hospitality, the warmest African smiles and friendliness and an ambience of ease and restfulness welcome our guests.

The lodge comprises the following: a private lounge and bar, 2 swimming pools, wooden viewing decks, a secluded bird hide, private hammocks, conference room, gymnasium & health spa, curio shop & both an indoor and open-air (Boma) dining area. Nestled beneath 800-year-old trees, the 18 exquisitely appointed chalets with en-suite bathroom, outdoor & inside shower & wooden viewing deck. The bedroom area is air-conditioned with an overhead fan. All rooms have mini-bar & telephone access. The rooms are linked to all areas by raised wooden walkways face due to catch the sun as it rises majestically over the Kruger National Park.
