The bedroom and bathroom areas are air-conditioned with overhead fans. Internet access and telephones are provided in these suites. The suites are 165 square meters in size and are positioned at least 20 meters apart, being linked to all areas by raised wooden walkways. They all have breathtaking views over the Sabie River, a setting where game viewing can be done from the luxury of one's private suite, Africa's finest.
The reception building is set apart from the main lodge at Lion Sands Ivory, ensuring that guests arrive and depart without compromising the privacy of the lodge experience. The main lodge and entrance building feature a private lounge and bar, wooden viewing decks, board-room, wine cellar, gymnasium and health spa, curio shop as well as both an indoor and open-air (Boma) dining area.
