Would you be scared? During my recent safari trip Would you be scared? During my recent safari trip in South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a fight broke out between a hyena and a pack of African wild dogs right next to our open safari vehicle.

Some context: African wild dogs are among the most effective and feared predators in the world. They use extraordinary co-operation and teamwork to pursue, overhaul and bring down their prey. As a result, up to 80% of their hunts end successful (compared to lions at 10%).

Here are some impressions of my stay at Lion Sands Here are some impressions of my stay at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, the most exclusive safari lodge in South Africa. Swipe right for more photos.

Set along the banks of the Sabie River and attracting abundant “big five” wildlife from Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park, the @LionSandsGameReserve – owned by the More family – has four luxurious lodges: River Lodge, Ivory Lodge, Tinga Lodge, and Narina Lodge. Ivory Lodge is the understated jewel in the Lion Sands crown. The ultra-luxe lodge is all about elegance, with an aura of sophistication yet simplicity, boldness yet balance, ebony and ivory, perfect harmony, exclusivity, sensitivity and complete privacy. The eight one-bedroom villas and one two-bedroom villa have their own private rim flow plunge pools with magnificent views over the Sabie River, allowing guests to cool down from the hot African sun while watching animals as they quench their thirst a mere stone’s throw away.

Have you ever stayed at Lion Sands? If so, what was your experience? Leave a comment.
