32
Our childhood was the stuff of which dreams are made. I remember swimming at our secret place on the Sabie River where you always kept a close eye over Guy and I. I remember you jumping to my defence when a hyena bit me at the warden’s house - I was just three. I remember you and I being chased by a pack of wild dogs, and spending four long and blistering hot hours perched for dear life in a tree. I also remember many long walks home in the dark of night when our old rusted Land Rover broke down. What an amazing path we walked together!
You left too soon, but I know that you have taken your place among the stars. Just like all of our family who have gone before, you will always be kept alive through the mark you made on the heart of Lion Sands.
My promise to you, which I have already pledged, is to protect our legacy for the next generation of family and guests.
We miss you.
Brothers, the late Nick More and Robert

the Kingston treehouse is constructed entirely from wood and glass, with contemporary décor in understated hues. No matter what the weather has in store, you will have a safe and luxurious space with a bird’s eye view of the ever-changing views. In fact, we challenge you to find two identical African sunsets!

AFRICAN LEGACYOur family is one of the most privileged in the world to be the custodian of some of Africa’s truly unspoiled wilderness areas. With a foot in both the Sabi Sand Reserve and the Kruger National Park, we have created a place which is as close to perfection as any of the Seven Wonders.
At Lion Sands you have the opportunity to view unparalleled wildlife in the company of Field Guides with an insatiable enthusiasm both for the bush and for the guests who visit.
Our people share our passion for elevating experiences from just going somewhere pretty, to enjoying something pretty incredible.
Our lodges are all situated on the perennial Sabie River, and offer our guests the pinnacle of African contemporary luxury. You choose your best fit, as each is as unique as you are.
Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple or as a family, we offer you a safari that will stretch your imagination, connect you with the wilderness and create lifelong memories of a place that we call home.
Our sincere wish is that by the time you leave, you will consider it yours too.

“When he wanted adventure of a more dangerous kind, he followed elephant. He crept cautiously, following closely the largest footprints. His heart raced at the sound of snapping branches and the slushy rending of long roots in deep soil, as the trees were pushed over to gain the topmost juicy shoots. He was fascinated by their belly rumblings - those loud intestinal noises which forewarn the hunter that wild elephant are near.”

EXPERIENCESExcitement rides high in discovering an intensely wild adventure every day. Rise before dawn to set off through the early morning mist in search of game, or spend time on foot in the company of your Field Guide where nature speaks in a different tone.
Whether you choose to spend quiet time on your private deck or at the poolside, languid hours at the hands of one of our spa therapists, enjoying a spot of retail therapy or seeing the bush through your children’s eyes - you will not find it difficult to fully enjoy the hours of your days.
the Lion Sands treehouses are the ultimate bush bedrooms. Arrive at sunset to a scrumptious picnic dinner, and spend the hours of dusk fully appreciating the vastness of the bushveld as it transforms from day to night. Slumber directly beneath the Milky Way where you may well lose count of the shooting stars.
“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way it treats its children.” (Nelson Mandela)
It stands to reason that the most powerful way of uplifting a community in the long term is through educating,developing and empowering its youth. thanks to the support of our generous guests, we have managed to see hundreds of children from hENNA Pre-School receive education, as well as nutritional and emotional care. they now stand a chance to make something better of their lives.
the re-introduction of scheduled flights into and out of Skukuza Airport allows more time for experiencing, and less for travelling.
