South African hospitality group BON Hotels has announced that it will open its new lodge, the Leopard Sands River Lodge, in August.
The lodge, overlooking the Sabi River, shares a border with Kruger National Park and is located only minutes from the Paul Kruger Gate entrance to the park. Each of the lodge's 18 luxury units has its own private plunge pool overlooking the river, which is home to hippos, crocodiles and countless species of birds.
