4-Days Sublime Sabi Sands

Greater Kruger Safari

Trip details

This three-night stay at Lion Sands River Lodge offers an exceptional safari in the heart of the Sabi Sand Reserve, where luxury meets wilderness. Guests enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in search of the Big Five, guided bush walks, and relaxed downtime overlooking the Sabie River as wildlife passes by.

One night is spent in the Chalkley Treehouse or Kingston Treehouse, a private open-air sleepout surrounded by the sounds of the African bush. As the sun sets and the stars emerge, this unforgettable experience offers complete solitude and connection to nature — a highlight of any South African safari.
