Lion Sands is located at the southern end of the enormous Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which borders the famed Kruger National Park. Established in 1933, it’s one of the best places to spot the Big Five — you might even do so from your private pool or through the telescope on your private deck. The wonderfully individual accommodations include a number of tree houses, so you can spend a night under the stars. Be sure to take a hot-air-balloon trip over the Sabie River Valley at dawn.
