Sand Rivers was just what we were after in a Safari. Being over a river and giving us that view as well was an imagine that will live with us for a long time. Admittedly 7 nights probably was one or 2 beyond what we needed in hindsight, but the extra days luckily meant another lion encounter (purely by chance, we stopped for a picnic lunch in the bush and typically got out and no one had noticed 6 foot from us were 4 lions resting after their lunch!) and rare sighting of hyena’s. So you know Sand Rivers has new management, Mike and Carol, both were excellent hosts and looked after us impeccably, unlike the local monkeys who decided to wreck our room on a couple of occasions, but Mike & Carol got their team to clean up the mess, we accepted it as part of the experience, along with the elephant tearing down a tree next to our room at 2am!

[Nomad says: 7nts at Sand Rivers is unusual, unless part of a longer walking safari. We normally recommend at least 4nts to get maximum benefit from the area, with one of those nights spent flycamping - a MUST while you are there!]
