Destination Reviews and Travel Tips

Over the next several weeks you will observe some gradual changes to our website. One of the more noticeable will be the increased font size of our text. While it may not be space friendly, hopefully it will make the reading of our thoughts easier on everyones eyes.

Some other changes will include the addition to the site of more destinations such as Tahiti, Thailand and China. You will also see some additional e-mail addresses for clients such as groups, golfers, honeymooners, and river cruises.

We are currently preparing several destination reviews so be on the lookout for future blogs on Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cancun and China for starters.

As a company, we have agents who are trained and certified as Caribbean Destination Specialists, Certified Sandals Specialists, Hawaii Destination Specialists, Tahiti Specialists, Official Cancun Counsellors, and Uniworld Grand River Cruise Specialists with ongoing training for additional destinations.

One further "FYI" will be the inclusion of a "direct booking options" page on the website. So please bear with us and give is a call, or e-mail, whenever we may assist your vacation travel plans. We look forward to working with you to win your business.

NEW AT LION SANDS

“You have to know your roots in order to find your wings!” This is exactly how Guy Aubrey Chalkley felt when he first discovered the raw beauty and ancient spirit of the Kingstown Game Reserve, near the Kruger National Park, back in 1933. Not even he could have realised, on that warm November morning, the legacy he was creating. A legacy that has survived through four generations, the unpredictable nature of the Sabie River and the great responsibilities of protecting and ensuring the Kingstown Game Reserves ecological environment.

As a tribute to their predecessor’s pioneering spirit, Nick and Robert More, the great grandsons of Guy Chalkley and present-day owners of Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, have built their own private family camp. This, after the original family camp was washed away in the floods of 2000. Aptly named 1933 at Lion Sands, this exclusive sole use lodge welcomed their first guests on 24th October 2007. Since 1933 at Lion Sands has been designed by the family, for the family, it encapsulates both the warm, personal ambience associated with a family owned lodge and a world class luxury safari experience.

Nestling on the banks of the Sabie River, 1933 at Lion Sands represents a secluded environment where comfort and relaxation are the order of the day. There are four spacious suites, each with their own private view of the Sabie River. The bathrooms are just as inviting, courtesy of their double vanity units, elegant bath and outdoor showers. There is also a childrens dormitory, able to sleep up to 8 children, with his and hers bathroom and an interleading bedroom for the au-pair.

The lodge’s large windows, sliding doors and muted colours mirror the surrounding landscape and create a seamless, indoor-outdoor flow. Timber, thatch and screed flooring add earthy charm to the interior, where the decor is classic-contemporary. Take the lounge, for instance, with its natural fibres, oversized chairs and open fireplace that together create a haven for relaxation. The kitchen is ideal as it opens onto a dining area that’s equally suited to informal family meals or a banquet affair. All of these public areas open onto a large, wraparound wooden deck and lap-size swimming pool.

If this sounds like your dream home, that’s exactly what 1933 at Lion Sands strives to be: a gracious home away from home – with a few added luxuries, including your own private chef and ranger, with the exclusive use of a 4x4 Landrover for safari game drives.

A communal, self-contained space with a smart-casual vibe, where absolute privacy is assured – that’s 1933 at Lion Sands. However you choose to spend your leisure time here, the lodge is certain to leave you refreshed and re-acquainted with yourself, with the other members of your group and with the breathtaking, natural escarpment that’s unique to Africa. Listen closely to the Sabie River meandering past your suite, and you may just hear the soft, satisfied sighs of Guy Chalkley…

Oh, and don't forget to ask us about the More's "sister" property, a small boutique property in Cape Town called The Cape Cadogan
