AN AFRICAN SAFARI
An exclusive 5-star lodge, set within the internationally famous Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, part of the greater Kruger National Park Conservancy.
Our internationally acclaimed lodge offers a unique style of tented accommodation, blending the romance of classic safari with the refined elegance of modern luxury.
Where untamed beauty meets the warmth of a privately owned lodge - in the heart of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve.
Savanna is a privately-owned retreat with just nine luxurious suites, ensuring an intimate, home-away-from-home experience. Here, the Big Five roam free, and every detail is designed around your comfort and connection to the wild.
Our specially designed game-viewing vehicles and highly trained guides and trackers offer close, unhurried encounters with an astonishing variety of wildlife in the African bushveld. The Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino - are seen regularly during our game drives.
From the waterholes in front of the lodge to the nearby dams that draw elephants daily in the dry winter months, every moment at Savanna offers a connection to nature and the timeless spirit of the bush.
"Luxury here is quiet: a name remembered, a
sunset kept just for you."
Our five-star luxury lodge offers nine exquisite suites, seven of which feature graceful canvas-topped roofs that blend the romance of a classic safari with the elegance of a bygone colonial era. Inside, modern comforts meet timeless style - from air-conditioned interiors and deep soaking tubs overlooking the savanna, to décor that captures the essence of understated luxury.
Each suite opens onto a private patio with a heated plunge pool, outdoor shower, and uninterrupted views of the bush. Thoughtful touches include a minibar stocked with inviting treats, a coffee machine for slow morning rituals, and the soft whisper of the evening breeze as the sun sets over the Sabi Sand. More than accommodation, each is a sanctuary - a place to retreat, rejuvenate, and reconnect.
The Savanna Suite is an opulent home away from home under thatch. Two large, beautifully furnished bedrooms lie on either side of an interconnecting lounge.
In an area rich with dams and waterholes that draw herds of game, and traversing more than 10,000 hectares of pristine bushveld, a Savanna safari offers exceptional opportunities to witness Africa’s most iconic wildlife. The “Big Five” - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino - are seen regularly, alongside cheetah, wild dog, hippo, crocodile, abundant plains game, and over 400 bird species.
From twice-daily game drives led by expert guides to lantern-lit dinners beneath a canopy of stars, every moment at Savanna Private Game Reserve is crafted to bring you closer - to the land, to its wildlife, and to each other. Our emphasis is, first and foremost, on the safari experience: unhurried, immersive, and alive with the rare and beautiful creatures of the Sabi Sand.
Whether unwinding in the comfort of the lodge lounge, enjoying its spacious patio, or relaxing at the main pool with views over lush gardens and a floodlit waterhole, guests are often treated to unforgettable wildlife moments - from flocks of birds to elephants and antelope quenching their thirst.

We love to surprise and delight our guests in the evenings with varied dining experiences. From lantern- lit bush dinners to private candle-lit dinners under the stars on warm evenings.
