Accommodation: - 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 childrens dormitory, able to sleep up to 8 children, with his and hers bathroom and an interleading 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. Take the lounge, for instance, with its natural fibres, oversized chairs and open fireplace that together create a haven for relaxation. 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, wraparound wooden deck and 13.5m (15 yard) 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 Landrover for safari game drives.
What really sets 1933 at Lion Sands apart from any other safari lodge, is its prime setting on the canopied banks of the Sabie River – the very place where Guy Chalkley spent hours writing his storybook, Desert Pool, telling of the myriad adventures his two children, Tony and Louise, enjoyed while growing up on the Reserve.
Here, amidst the idle chatter of vervet monkeys, colourful birdsong, peaceful naps and calls of the wild, the spirit of an African river runs through every guest’s experience at the lodge.
A communal, self-contained space with a smart-casual vibe, where absolute privacy is assured – that’s 1933 at Lion Sands. However you choose to spend your leisure time here, 1933 at Lion Sands is certain to leave you refreshed and re-acquainted with yourself, with the other members of your family or exclusive group and with the breathtaking, natural escarpment that’s unique to Africa. Listen closely to the Sabie River meandering past your suite, and you may just hear the soft, satisfied sighs of Guy Chalkley…
