Sabi Sands
Savanna Lodge

Fantastic 'Big Five' Lodge
This gorgeous lodge is situated in the southern part of the internationally famous Sabi Sand Reserve.
The ‘Big Five’ sightings are so frequent, it is not unusual to see lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino in a single game drive. Numerous nearby dams and a series of waterholes in front of the lodge attract many species, especially in the dry winter months when elephants are daily visitors.
There are seven suites – three executive and four luxury, all with their own private plunge pools. The executive suites feature canvas roofs for an authentic safari feel as well as large bathrooms with a free standing tub, double vanities, double shower and toilet as well as outdoor shower. There are glass doors that open onto covered patios where your private plunge pool faces waterholes in the bush.
The four luxury suites are nestled among indigenous trees that attract a variety of bird life. They have the same facilities as the larger suites in a more compact space.
There is also the two-bedroom Savana Suite where the bedrooms lie on either side of an inter-connecting lounge. Each bedroom has the same bathroom facilites and the luxury and exutive suites, while the living room features a cosy reading nook in front of the fireplace. The outdoor patio is perfect for candle-lit dinners or private pre-dinner cocktails. This suite is perfect for families or groups of friends.

Places to combine Savanna Lodge with

Sabi Sands
Dating back to the 1920s, MalaMala is one of the most historic private game reserves in South Africa, the first to make the transition from hunting to photographic safaris, and a model which the rest of the region’s safari industry is based upon.
It is also one of the largest reserves, comprising of some 13,300 hectares (33,000 acres) of wilderness, sharing a long, unfenced border with the Kruger National Park. A decades long period of conservation focused practice has meant the wilderness has thrived, and is a stronghold for the Big Five, African Wild Dog, cheetah, incredible bird life and much more.
Such a vast area ensures low vehicle density (there are just three lodges here – including the Main Camp and luxurious Rattray’s) and, being a private reserve, there’s the chance for day and night drives as well as unforgettable walking safaris.
