As you enter the historic homestead, breathtaking views unfold over an infinity pool, descending into a natural water hole, where game gathers in the early morning and late afternoon.

Days 4-6
To Lion Sands Private Game Reserve
Air transfer to Port Elizabeth for your onward scheduled flight to Nelspruit’s Kruger Mpumalanga Airport and onward air transfer to Lion Sands Private Game Reserve in the Sabi Sand.

Nestling on the banks of the Sabie River, the secluded 1933 at Lion Sands hosts four spacious suites, each with their own private view of the Sabie River. The bathrooms have double vanity units, elegant bath and outdoor showers.

The lodge’s large windows, sliding doors and muted colors mirror the surrounding landscape and create a seamless, indoor-outdoor flow. For socializing, the kitchen is ideal as it opens onto a dining area that’s equally suited to informal family meals or larger banquets. All of these public areas open onto a large, wraparound wooden deck and swimming pool.

The philosophy of the safari experience at Lion Sands is to deliver a consistently professional, informative and complete safari experience, where all spheres of the eco-system are covered, from the small insects to the mighty elephant. 1933 at Lion Sands

To Phinda Private Game Reserve
Phinda Private Game Reserve is situated in the lush Maputaland region in northern KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa. Phinda comprises 54,500 acres of prime conservation land. Seven distinct habitats shelter an abundance of wildlife including Africa’s Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo) and over 380 bird species, while the marine diversity off the nearby coast of Sodwana rivals the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Getty House is an intimate exclusive use villa at Phinda, situated in the west of the Reserve on 8650 acres. This private residence overlooks an extinct volcano now covered in lush green vegetation and ringed by gently rolling hills. The Lodge is perfect for memorable celebrations and special occasion safaris. An interactive kitchen allows for intimate, informal dining, and an infinity pool provides for respite from the heat of the day.
