Special feature: Tree House sleep-out
Lion Sands Leadwood Tree HouseIn the branches of an enormous tree you will find Lion Sands most unusual accommodation experience - The Tree House. This unique bush bedroom has been safely constructed above the ground in the branches overlooking the Msutlu dry riverbed. For an evening of star-spangled wonder, rich in the cocophony of African night sounds, this room with a view sleeps a single guest or sharing guests more than comfortably for the night - with mosquito net, luxury bed, the finest linen, a bedside table and a separate toilet ans bush vanity table. Completely secluded and private.

A ranger will drive you to your room in the trees and after ensuring it is safe, will leave you to experience the rare pleasure of being completely alone in the wilderness. You can retire to The Tree House at sunset or after dinner. Those preferring to depart at sunset will delight in a decadent, packed picnic dinner, ready to be enjoyed under the African dusk. As dawn breaks, a call to the lodge on a portable radio will summon the ranger for your return or you can await collection at a pre-arranged time.

At Lion Sands, guests have a choice of two different Tree House experiences:

Jackalberry Tree House - This bush bedroom has been constructed high up in the top of a 100-year-old Jackalberry tree overlooking the Msutu dry-river bed. From your camouflaged hideaway, you will get up close and personal with nature.

Leadwood Tree House - With views extending onto an open plain where you can watch the sunset over the African bushveld. The Tree house is built around a 500 year-old Leadwood Tree where the stars are your only canopy...

These experiences will never be forgotten, guaranteed to touch the soul, a memory that will last forever.
