Family owned and managed since 1933, this International Award Winning private game reserve stretches for kilometres along the perennial Sabie River which forms its natural boundary with the Kruger National Park. The land has been owned and managed by the More Family for four generations.
Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, awarded Tatler Magazine Best Hotel in World 2006, is ultra luxurious yet simple and uncluttered, the interiors achieving a contemporary, Afro-European elegance. The Lodge is about overriding exclusivity with complete privacy where each suite is operated as a private villa. Private dining, in-suite spa treatments and complete relaxation are the norm.
River Lodge is the soul of Lion Sands and has been built on the banks of the Sabie River, positioned on a site with trees dating back 800 years. Facing due east, the lodge catches the sun as it rises over the Kruger National Park. Hosted by a family of staff that make it feel like home away from home, the lodge is about spirit, warmth and nature. |

Accommodation description:
Ivory Lodge comprises six generously sized privately situated villas, each with a separate living room, swimming pool and an open plan en-suite bathroom with an enclosure for the outdoor shower - 6-star luxury in the middle of the bush. The colour scheme of ebony and ivory is interpreted in a modern style, while selected African accessories blend the old world with the new to create Afro-Euro chic. Breathtaking views of the Sabie River, which has flowing water all year around, can be viewed through the oversized windows of each villa or from the private viewing terrace.
The rooms at River Lodge offer respite and protection from the Lowveld heat. The interior is a tranquil cream and beige, cool in the summer - cosy in the winter. The bathroom, with its soothing interiors and pebble-inlaid floors complements the bushveld well. There are 18 luxurious thatched bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, outdoor & inside shower & wooden viewing deck. The rooms are linked to all public areas by raised wooden walkways.
