Lion Sands Narina Lodge
Lodge style Contemporary classic safari
Perfect blend of style and experience
Narina Lodge is situated in South Africa's Kruger National Park – the only private game reserve rooted in both the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Kruger National Park. The Sabie River forms a natural boundary between its two sides. Narina Lodge is on the Kruger National Park side. The lodge is constructed on stilts, unobtrusively blending between the riverine trees on the banks of the Sabie River. The main lounge, bar, wine cellar and library are decorated in a true African Safari style, with some furnishings huddled around the fireplace and the rest making full use of the open-sided section, which becomes the extensive viewing deck.
Just nine spacious thatched suites are connected to the main building by raised wooden walkways. Each suite is fully air-conditioned with mini bars and personal safes. The en-suite bathrooms have double vanities, outdoor showers and large free-standing bath tubs with views of the river. The bedrooms open onto private viewing decks and secluded plunge pools.

Tripadvisor comments Lion Sands Narina Lodge
We stayed at the Narina lodge. Amazing "rooms" (more like palaces) with views of the river and occasional animals. The food is outstanding too, but this is all overshadowed by the great guides, trackers, and game viewing. In 3 days of drives, we saw lions and tigers twice each, rhinos and giraffes a few times, and countless elephants and buffalo. Also we had great sightings of baboons, antelope, crocs, and hippos. The rangers really go all out to help you get up close. If you can afford it, I would absolutely recommend it. In the winter, it seemed to us that 3 nights was the perfect amount of time.

The villas are stunning. They are large and beautiful with incredible views of the river. There is a beautiful soaking tub a double indoor shower and an outdoor shower too. All with beautiful views of the river. There is a small plunge pool and deck where guests can choose to rest and enjoy the beauty of the river and the animals while resting in between drives.
