River Lodge Tariffs for children:

We regret that we are unable to accommodate children under the age of 10 years unless the lodge is block booked by the same family or group. A child aged 10 or 11 years and sharing a room at Lion Sands River Lodge with two full paying adults, will pay 50% of the per person sharing rate. Children in their own room will pay the standard adult rates.

Please note that we only have one room at Lion Sands River Lodge that can accommodate 3 guests - a triple room is therefore subject to availability. 

Children 12 years and older pay the standard per person rates in their own room at Lion Sands River Lodge.

Credit Card
American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard & Visa Cards are accepted at the lodge.
