Experiences

• Game drives

  The 5,000-hectare private reserve is home to among the highest, most diverse concentration of wildlife in the southern hemisphere. You will see all of Africa’s iconic species – lion leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, and zebra – along with a supporting cast of no less intriguing 137 mammal species and over 450 varieties of bird.

• Bush walks

  For those who wish to experience the bush, not just observe it, there is no better experience. This is also a wonderful, sensory way to encounter the smaller creatures, often missed on safari vehicles, and to discover more about the reserve’s plants.

• Family safaris

  Tailor-made activities give children (5 to 11 years) a little extra freedom to explore and just be kids with activities to keep young ones occupied with the wonders of the natural world, as well as with sports and crafts, during their stays.

• A night in a treehouse

  Lion Sands has three fabulous luxury treehouses where romantics, adventurers and solitude seekers can discover the magic of a night out in the wilderness in complete luxury. Arrive at sunset to a picnic dinner, spend the dusk hours watching animals wander past below and fall asleep counting shooting stars.

• Giving back

  Take a community tour, the proceeds of which go to the More Community Trust's development projects here, or roll up your sleeves to help out through Get Your Hands Dirty initiatives. These centre on education, infrastructure, health and environment, and you can choose the area best suited to your skills and interest.
