Independent Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park hotels

"Such a lovely resort, the people are friendly, the food is different every night, the tents are stunning and the guides clearly love their jobs which make the drives so enjoyable, would 100% recommend staying here."

"Our stay at Lion Sands River Lodge was excellent! From the time we arrived at the Skukuza airport to the time we departed, our expectations were far exceeded. The Lion Sands River Lodge was amazingly decorated with thatch roofs. Dining and sitting areas overlook the river with spectacular views. The lodge also had a well equipped gym with treadmills, bikes and weights. The staff were friendly and customer service was excellent. Our every need was taken care of promptly. Our villa was beautiful and overlooked the river with stunning views. While sitting on our porch, we watched hippos, elephants, crocodiles and nyala. The food was delicious with healthy options as well as comfort foods. The game drives were spectacular. Our safari guide Mendrew, and tracker, Brian were excellent at their skill. We stayed for 4 days and saw leopards each day on the game drives. We saw the big 5 as well as many other animals and birds. Overall, everything about Lion Sands River Lodge is exceptional and we will be back. Many thanks to Mello and the River Lodge team "

"Spectacular stay this time. Warm welcome, welcome wine and sweet and savoury platter in our room. Personalised treatment for dinner and the game drive amazing. "

"Incredible staff. Loved the room. An overall wonderful experience!!!!"

"One night was too short! We saw so many animals coming up to the fence and on the river bank, it was truly an experience watching elephants in the Kruger while eating breakfast! Service, food, the room, the communal areas were all perfect! And it was just a few minutes drive to Kruger National Park gate!"

"Fabulous place - we had the 3 bed and it was vast, well decorated and very comfy. The service here is what sets it apart - welcoming, friendly and super efficient. Boma dinner is also amazing and served with a smile. I would def recommend."

"IF you want to see animals this is your place. The ride from the Safari Lodge along the Sabi river takes about an hour in each direction and you'll see more animals then you've ever seen in your life! Truly. Majestic. Awesome trip. You don't need more than a couple or few days unless you want a safari experience and stay in expensive tents etc. This place is perfect for the casual traveler who wants to see animals animals and more animals. Heavenly! And the lodge is perfect like a vacation place not a safari place. "

"Elephants, hippos and monkeys right outside of door. It was a peaceful and beautiful experience. The staff were the best I’ve ever encountered in my travels. Absolutely genuine and beautiful people. A new resort that is still flying under the radar. Take advantage of it while you can. "
