When you go on safari in South Africa's game reserves, you are led by highly-trained game rangers and qualified trackers in a safe off-road vehicle from which you can see these extraordinary creatures and landscapes up close. A safari in the Sabi Sands Eastern Cape or the Waterberg is the complete opposite of "roughing it." Instead, each of the lodges offer luxury rooms and suites, and serve up delectable cuisines, acclaimed South African wines and modern hospitality in quaint and distinct surroundings. KICHAKA PRIVATE GAME LODGE, ADDO NATIONAL PARK Set between two streams in a lush bushveld valley, Kichaka Lodge is an exclusive five star lodge located within a Big 5 game reserve, in the malaria free Eastern Cape. The main lodge at Kichaka is constructed in stone and thatch, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and overlooks a large watering hole popular with hippo, giraffe, elephant and countless other game. LION SANDS IVORY LODGE Family owned and managed since 1933, the Ivory Lodge is located in the famous Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

LION SANDS RIVER LODGE River Lodge is the heart and soul of Lion Sands, and is all about spirit, warmth, nature and African hospitality at its finest.
