Riverside Paradise - Activities
Kruger National Park

Get lost in the moment at this riverside paradise, located along the banks of the Sabie River, within the Kruger National Park offering the best place to see Lions in South Africa.

Game Viewing

Game drives run twice daily, one in the morning and one during the evening. This Riverside Paradise boasts an exceptional team of trackers and guides. They will make sure that you get up close to the Big 5 (within 5-20 meters). The team is so good, they will even point unique creatures that your untrained eye might just miss, such as a chameleon in the tree at night...

Bush Walks

Walks generally take place after breakfast and last around 1- 2 hours. These walks are suitable for all fitness levels and provide a unique experience getting up close to nature as you trek through the hills with a tracker guide. This is an opportunity to learn more about the local flora, birds, insects, reptiles and even the cultural influences and history of the area. For safety, no children under 16 are allowed to attend the walks.

Cultural Village Excursion

For a more cultural experience, guests at Lion Sands can also visit Henna Pre-school. The school initially used mud-walled buildings for infrastructure and since then better facilities have been built due to Lion Sands’ involvement. Guests can get a glimpse into how local communities live and thrive within the reserve.
