Narina Lodge is situated in the eastern part of the Lion Sands Reserve in the actual Kruger National Park. Narina Lodge offers a traditional safari experience in a sophisticated waterside haven, and like all other Lion Sands lodges, is run with a lot of passion and professionalism. The operators characterise the lodge as 'organic chic' and this is probably spot on.

The main building and the nine 80m² suites are situated on the southern bank of the Sabie River and are built on stilts. The suites offer plenty of privacy, views of the Sabie River and are equipped with all the amenities one could wish for: En-suite bathroom with bathtub, indoor and outdoor shower, bedroom with view, lounge with minibar and large sliding doors to the terrace which features a private plunge pool.

Lion Sands Game Reserve is part of the Sabi Sand Reserve. From Johannesburg, Lion Sands can be reached in about 1 hour by air, usually to Skukuza Airport. From Cape Town, the flight time is about two hours 30 minutes.

The lodges in the Sabi Sand Reserve are renowned for their excellent game viewing, and encounters with the big five are almost guaranteed. The Kruger Park side is unfenced, allowing the animals to move freely between Kruger National Park and the private nature reserve.

Lion Sands is the only private game reserve rooted in both the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Kruger National Park, protecting 6,400ha and 6,000ha, respectively, of pristine wildlife habitat, as well as sites of cultural and historical significance. The Sand River borders the area in the north and the Sabie River flows for 12km through the southern part of the reserve. The access to water is always a guarantee for good animal sightings and interesting bird life.

Lion Sands has plenty to offer, including star-gazing, bush breakfasts and dinners, bush walks, hippo tours, safari lunches and exciting game drives. Guests can enjoy the spa facilities or the swimming pool when not participating in activities.
