About The Lodge & The Reserve


About 1933 At Lion Sands

Lion Sands Private Game Reserve stands today on the original area that was Kingstown Game Reserve. Incorporating three luxury lodges and the same unspoilt beauty that Guy Chalkley so appreciated, the 4 000-hectare Lion Sands Private Game Reserve has earned its reputation as one of Southern Africa's finest luxury safari destinations.

As a tribute to their predecessor's pioneering spirit, Nicholas and Robert More, the great grandsons of Guy Chalkley and present-day owners of Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, have undertaken to build their own private camp. Aptly named 1933 at Lion Sands which opened in October 2007, this lodge will welcome local guests, families and friends the world over.

Nestling on the banks of the Sabie River, 1933 at Lion Sands represents a secluded environment where comfort and relaxation are the order of the day. There are four spacious suites, each with their own private view of the Sabie River. The bathrooms are just as inviting, courtesy of their double vanity units, elegant bath and outdoor showers. There is also a children's dormitory, able to sleep up to 8 children, with his and hers bathroom and an inter-leading bedroom for an au-pair.

The lodge's large windows, sliding doors and muted colours mirror the surrounding landscape and create a seamless, indoor-outdoor flow. Timber, thatch and screed flooring add earthy charm to the interior, where the decor is classic-contemporary. The kitchen is ideal as it opens onto a dining area that's equally suited to informal family meals or a banquet affair. All of these public areas open onto a large, wrap around wooden deck and 13.5m lap-size swimming pool.

If this sounds like your dream home, that's exactly what 1933 at Lion Sands strives to be: a gracious home away from home - with a few added luxuries, including your own private chef and ranger, with the exclusive use of a 4x4 Land Rover for safari game drives.
