Savanna Lodge, set in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger area. This exclusive lodge offers an intimate and personalised safari experience. The lodge features nine suites, each blending contemporary comfort and classic safari style. Each suite offers views of the surrounding bush, and private terraces with plunge pools. Amenities include air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms with outdoor showers. Dining at Savanna is focused on local flavours and ingredients mixed with international cuisine. Dinner is often served under the stars, on the main lodge deck or in the open-air boma.
Sabi Sands is known for its high density of wildlife, including the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos. The reserve is particularly noted for its leopard population, offering some of the best opportunities to see the big cats in their natural habitat. Guests will enjoy game drives with excellent guides and can also enjoy guided bush walks if they wish to explore on foot.
The lodge's commitment to sustainability and conservation is also impressive, with The Savanna Trust collaborating with a number of local projects and community partners. Each stay at Savanna Lodge helps to contribute to projects including a nearby nursing home and a home-based care centre.
At Love To Explore we would recommend the lodge for these unique selling points:
- Small, intimate lodge with personal service
- Excellent wildlife opportunities, helped by knowledgeable guides
- Luxurious suites with private, heated plunge pools
