Lion sands Private Game Reserve is situated in the Southern portion of the 65,000-hectare Sabi Sand Game Reserve, an area well known for its high concentration of wildlife through both the dry and wet seasons.

The property's geographical location is an area of great diversity of both fauna and flora and affords us unique activities based around the river system and surrounding area. Lion Sands is situated in one of the most pristine wilderness areas in Southern Africa.
