More Collection | Luxury Hotels & Lodges South Africa
The MORE Collection (formerly known as the MORE Family Collection) is a fourth-generation, family-owned South African luxury hospitality brand offering high-end safari lodges, boutique hotels, and private residences.
The Sabi Sands, Kruger Park, Victoria Falls, Marakele National Park, and Cape Town are among of South Africa’s most popular and interesting tourist sites. MORE Family Collection owns and manages a variety of properties in these locations. MORE is a family-based company maintained by individuals that are passionate about hospitality and service quality and work to provide a vacation that is full of character and amazing experiences.
The More family constructed their first resort on a private Kruger reserve in 2001, and it was opened under the name Lion Sands. After the Lion Sands facilities were a success, the family expanded their enterprise to include more carefully chosen lodges and boutique hotels in South Africa’s most popular tourist locations, and in May 2010 they introduced the MORE Collection brand.
Each MORE property has its own personality that appeals to a particular sort of traveler, even though high levels of luxury and individualized attention can be expected at all MORE locations.
The MORE series offers the romantic Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, which has villa-sized suites, as well as the stunning Marataba Safari Lodge and Marataba Mountain Lodge for an unforgettable Big 5 safari. While more independent-minded visitors to the Mother City will enjoy local-style living at the chic More Quarters self-catering apartments, Cape Town travelers seeking understated, elegant luxury will adore Cape Cadogan, a magnificently restored National Monument.

Founded in the 1930s, the brand recently rebranded to drop the word “Family” to avoid confusion and better align with its appeal to all types of luxury travelers.

Lion Sands Game Reserve
Staying at Lion Sands Game Reserve within the MORE Collection offers an extraordinary safari experience because it is the only private reserve that spans both the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve and Kruger National Park. With over 13 miles of exclusive Sabie River frontage, it delivers some of the most consistent, world-class Big Five and leopard sightings in Africa.
Greater Kruger Safaris
The MORE Collection features properties across two distinct, legendary sectors of the Greater Kruger National Park: the Sabi Sand Reserve (via Lion Sands) and the Thornybush Nature Reserve (via Monwana). Because all of these private reserves share unfenced borders with the main Kruger National Park, the wildlife roams completely free, ensuring top-tier Big Five viewing without the crowds.
Marakele Safaris
A safari in Marakele National Park via the MORE Collection takes place within Marataba, a 23,000-hectare private concession nestled at the foot of the dramatic Waterberg Mountains. Unlike the Kruger region, Marataba provides a completely malaria-free Big Five wilderness characterized by striking red sandstone cliffs, deep mountain valleys, and winding rivers.
Cape Town
When staying with the MORE Collection in Cape Town—primarily based at the beautifully restored Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel or the exclusive-use Cape Cadogan Villa in the trendy Gardens neighborhood—you have access to a dedicated MORE Concierge team. They specialize in tailoring highly personalized, private day tours and insider “Mother City” experiences.
