| Tips and Hints: Children's policy We regret that due to the inconvenience to other guests, we are unable to accommodate children under the age of 10 years. River Lodge A child aged 10 or 11 years 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. Should you wish to book 2 adults and a child into a suite at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, a private landrover for the duration of their stay will be compulsory at the standard daily rate for the vehicle.
