Following its Kruger National Park expansion last month with Buckler’s Africa Lodge, BON Hotels is set to launch its second Halal-certified accommodation offering in the same area.

Located near the prime area of the Kruger National Park in northeastern South Africa, Leopard Sands River Lodge by BON Hotels will open latter in 2019. The lodge is overlooking the Sabi River, and is only minutes from the Kruger Gate entrance.

The lodge has 18 luxury units, all equipped with private plunge pools overlooking the iconic river, home to hippos, crocodiles and countless species of birds. It also boasts an elevated restaurant that gives guests a unique view of the park.

The property was acquired by BON Hotels, a South-African based hotel company that manages and owns hotels, lodges and resorts throughout Southern Africa, as well as West and East Africa.
