Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

Tucked into the bushveld of the iconic Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is unlike any safari stay you might imagine. Hidden among the landscape and sculpted from it, the lodge – with its curved walls, rich textures, and the stillness of the surrounding wild – feels like a discovery in itself, as if nature decided to build a sanctuary. Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is easy to reach via Skukuza Airstrip, but once you arrive, it feels a world away – a secluded, ultra-luxurious retreat that feels both grounded and extraordinary.

Morning and afternoon game drives bring you close to Africa's Big 5, while walking safaris let you slow down and connect with the land. The lodge itself feels like part of the experience – you can watch elephants stroll past while sipping on a cocktail, dine privately in the wine cellar or simply lie back by the plunge pool outside your suite with the sounds of the bush all around you. The Amani Spa offers African-inspired treatments in a serene, earthy setting, while the gym and bar cater to wellness and leisure in equal measure.

The suites at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge are spacious, sophisticated and completely private – each one looking out over the bush with its own outdoor lounge, private pool and outdoor shower. There's also the striking Amber Villa, perfect for families or small groups wanting extra space, seclusion and a private safari vehicle. The lodge welcomes children aged 13 and above and is ideal for sharing a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience with your loved ones in comfort and style.
