Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

Savanna Lodge

This camp has a very low key and friendly style for such an outstanding camp. There are no snooty attitudes that can linger in the air with their ultra-luxury neighbors. Great for families.  — Mango's view

The unique Savanna Private Game Reserve is situated in the world renowned Sabi Sands Game Reserve, which borders South Africa's famous Kruger National Park.

Savanna Lodge encompasses the very essence of an Out of Africa camp. The tented suites combine the romance of a tented roof and draped inner ceiling, with the sophistication of a permanent structure that ensures luxury and privacy.

Savanna has 7 beautifully appointed rooms. Three are top of the range Executive Suites, each of which has its own private plunge pool, and an indigenous garden area. The 4 Luxury Suites are of equal standard, though slightly smaller and without the private pool and double shower. These suites are more intimate and romantic. All of the suites are air conditioned and have a well stocked mini-bar. Pure cotton linen with hand embroidered wildlife designs, and top quality beds are standard. Rustic reed blinds, coir carpets, a draped canvas ceiling and built in lounge area with bolsters and scatter cushions, all combine to create the most luxurious tents in Africa. The en-suite bathrooms of the Executive Suites feature a double wash hand basin, enclosed toilet, a double shower and a Victoriana ball and claw bath.

The open air boma, also overlooking the floodlit waterhole, creates a warm, friendly atmosphere, where guests may enjoy a traditional African meal under the stars. The boma at Savanna has recently been upgraded and now encompasses a thatched bar and cooking area and state of the art cooking facilities. New specially designed tables and chairs add to the ambiance of a starlit evening around the campfire. From the comfort of the lodge, guests may view some of Africa's impressive wildlife. Guests may enjoy game viewing in comfort from our upstairs library, or they may browse through our well stocked curio shop.

Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, cheetah, hippo and crocodile plus a multitude of general game and over 450 bird species may be viewed from the comfort and safety of the open game drive vehicle. Game drives are conducted by professional and extremely well qualified game rangers and trackers, who are experienced and knowledgeable on all aspects of the bush.
