"Absolutely Magical Stay"

Our stay at Sand Rivers turned our great trip to Africa into the “trip of a life-time”! It was absolutely magical.

Transported to Another World

Perched on the river, surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of nature, you are transported to another world at Sands River - one we didn’t want to leave.

Our three day stay at Sand Rivers exceeded our expectations. Bernadeta and her team made us so welcome at this beautiful river camp and couldn’t have done more for us. The food was absolutely delicious and the open lodges very comfortable. The variety of excursions such as river cruises, bush walks as well as excellent game drives were fabulous giving us the opportunity to really experience all the amazing wildlife. The surprises such as bush breakfasts and lake sundowners just topped off this unforgettable experience.

We loved our stay in Sand Rivers - we are extremely well travelled and know game lodges (we are from South Africa), and this is the best we have stayed in … views, food, service, variety of activities - apart from game drives, river boat outings, walking safari and night drives (where we saw leopard, hyenas and civet!). We were there out of season but saw a lot of wildlife … as good as Ruaha. Most of all we were blown away by the caring and flexible service from Sarah and her team, and our amazing guide Ernest.

Epic Landscape on Rufiji River

We loved our time in Sand Rivers for the epic landscape on the Rufiji River, the magical night fly camping (best food and sleep of our trip!) and the lovely team. Many thanks for everything!
