Lion Sands Narina Lodge Game Viewing and Activities
The Lion Sands concession has 5000 hectares of exclusive traversing. This includes 35 km of river frontage along the Sabie and Sand rivers. In addition to this, Lion Sands vehicles are permitted to traverse the entire Kruger network. In winter, elephant and buffalo are seen daily, with large herds making their way down to the river. Lion prides are frequently seen and leopards make an occasional appearance. Resident wildlife includes bushbuck, nyala, kudu, warthog, baboons and vervet monkeys. Hippos and crocodiles are present in the river, and are often seen on the sandbanks. Game drives are conducted in open vehicles, in the early morning and late afternoon. Drives are usually 3 - 4 hours in duration depending on game viewing, weather conditions etc. Off-road driving is permitted in the concession, ensuring close encounters with Africa's big five. Drives are conducted with expert guides and trackers. In addition to game drives, qualified guides will gladly take guests on guided safari walks where the focus is providing an informative and interesting look at those aspects of the bushveld not seen from the safari vehicles. One of the highlights of a game walk is a visit to the hippo pools on the Sabie River. Once again, this is always done at the guide's discretion.
