Lion Sands Narina Lodge

Absolutely outstanding! A really special, spoil destination.All staff so welcoming and happy to do anything to make your stay epic.Outstanding food and drink - too much - but we ate it all!! Lovely to have healthy options and great variety.Game viewing and guides - we had unbelievable sightings. Guides and rangers so dedicated to their task, so determined to make your experience outstanding. I loved that they did real tracking to find animals - made us feel part of the hunt!! So exciting!!

Beautiful location, peaceful and tranquil. Stunning views of the Sabie river and wildlife from the common area and rooms. The rooms are luxurious and the spa treatments heavenly. The trackers and game rangers are knowledgeable and make every game drive a unique experience. Kruger and Murray are an excellent game drive team. To top off the experience the cuisine is divine.

We celebrated our honeymoon here and it was by far the best experience we've had. Luxurious, unmatched service and detail - and the wildlife! Having multiple vehicles out at the same time and the tracker/guide duo guarantees a high wildlife sightings. Highly recommend and we will be back!

There aren't enough words to describe what a truly magical experience staying at Narina is. With attentive, warm staff who all greet you by name and gourgeous rooms overlooking the Sabi River you are spoiled from the moment you arrive. The game viewing is second to none and with your own guide and tracker you can ensure you will see creatures of the Bush in a way you've never before experienced.

Probably the most beautiful place I have ever been to. Absolutely stunning.

Our stay in Narina Lodge exceeded all of our expectations. We can't fault any aspect of our stay here. The rooms are incredible and it felt a shame that we didn't get to spend more time in them as they are so relaxing and we saw incredible wildlife scenes just on the river from our decking. Our waitress Petronella was very caring and friendly and the food was so varied and perfectly portioned which was ideal given the amount we ate! The highlight though was our Field Guide Joe and tracker Reckson. Our drives were so enjoyable despite the early starts and they made such an effort to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible and we were lucky to see some amazing scenes! We felt very lucky to have them as our guides. We also did a night in the treehouse which was unforgettable and highly recommended. 100% recommend staying in Narina!

The Narina lodge is beautifully situated. You feel very remote and can watch wildlife roaming about from the main area or from your rooms. You feel very secluded and safe all the time. The private Bungalows are very big, decorated gorgeously and very private. The staff is probably the best thing about the lodge. Everyone is super friendly, kind and helpful. The food was also phenomenal. You will never go hungry or thirsty. The food menu changed every day for every meal. Everything was outstanding.

This was a perfect hospitality experience. Jared & Darren lead a team that has the perfect balance of warmth, knowledge, and outstanding customer service. The small group drives which we had with Ryan and Chris were each a unique experience. The passion Ryan has for nature beyond the big 5" and evolutionary biology was a defining feature of the safari for us

3rd time visiting Lion Sands in March 2021 and as always, it's amazing. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Game drives were really good and they actually track the animals which to me is how it should be done. Food is really good and the bedding and amenities are on par with a 5 star lodge. Each room has a view over the river which is always flowing and there are always animals around the river some time during the day. We saw buffalo, warthog and elephants from our room. The elephants walked through the river and right past our room - amazing to see!I'll always come back!
