Lion Sands 2007

I have just returned from 7 wonderful days at Lion Sands South Africa Ivory Lodge. Ivory Lodge is one of two lodges that are part of Lion Sands. This is by far and away the best lodge I have been to in all of Africa. This was my 5th trip and I am looking forward to going back again.

Michael,
Wonderful pictures. My spouse and I are going to Kruger in March 09. We have yet to decide which lodge we will stay at. Tough decision. Both the Exeter and the Lion Sands are on the list. Which would you recommend overall? Also, is it worth spending the extra money to stay at the Ivory Lodge (vice the River Lodge)? Thanks!!

Michael,

Great photos! I noticed some of the Africa shots appeared to be at night, what is the proper protocol for the use of flash? Planning a trip there in September and starting to gear up.

Best regards,

Thanks so much for sharing these, Michael.....my favorites were Hippo Reflections, Hippo with hitchiker and the hippo with a baby following close behind. They're all so good (the leopard kill was fascinating, too....I especially, liked the first one with the leopard in hiding behind the grasses. (Penny Prouty @ TSA)
