Savanna Lodge

Contact us

Situated within the Sabi Sands Reserve, Savanna Lodge offers an exclusive, personalised and intimate safari experience in the greater Kruger National Park.

The nine exquisite suites have private patios, plunge pools and outdoor showers, with decor that epitomises the elegance of understated exclusivity. Lounge on the spacious patio or at the main pool area looking out over lush gardens and the floodlit watering hole.

Guests are often treated to fantastic views of birds and game drinking and bathing. From the veil of mist over the bush at dawn to the fiery sunsets, this lodge will help you to create an unforgettable safari experience.

Why we like Savanna Lodge

Savanna Lodge’s specially designed game viewing vehicles and highly trained guides take guests on close and intimate encounters with a large variety of wildlife. The lodge resides in a reserve where Big Five sightings are frequent; it is not unusual to see lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino in a single game drive. Cheetah, wild dog, hippo, crocodile, an abundance of other game and over 400 bird species can also be seen on safari. Only two vehicles are around a sighting, except in open terrain where three vehicles are allowed.

Activities

Venture out on a morning game drive with a tea or coffee stop with the famous Savanna Amarula hot chocolate or coffee, or spend your afternoon on a game drive and stop for a sundowner, marvelling at the colourful, African sunset. Game walks are also on offer for guests who would like to experience the fauna and flora on foot and to get up close with smaller creatures.

Sustainability

Savanna Lodge have set up The Savanna Trust, a non-profit organisation that collaborates with various community partners and supports locally-owned projects that focus on improving the lives of the area’s most vulnerable individuals. The overall goal of the Trust is to build more resilient communities which empower vulnerable individuals to meet their basic needs and secure a better future for them.
