Savanna Private Game Reserve

LUXURY AND PEACE IN THE HEART OF THE SABI SANDS 

An exclusive 5 star lodge, Savanna Private Game Reserve is located within the world-renowned Sabi Sands area. Lying in the western corner, commanding an intimate, secluded setting, the lodge itself is set within extensive open gardens abounding with flowers and boasting views over a floodlit watering-hole.

Savanna Lodge has an old fashioned “Out of Africa” charm, blending the bygone era of romance with modern comforts throughout. There are nine suites including a two-bedroom Savanna Suite (a perfect option for families). All suites are free-standing with spacious en-suite bathrooms, with stand-alone baths, and they also have the option of indoor and outdoor showers. Air-conditioning is standard, with ceiling fans, minibar, tea and coffee facilities. Each suite has its own private decking area; however, four of the suites benefit from private plunge pools.

More info

Savanna lies in an area where 'Big 5' sightings are so frequent, it is not unusual to see lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino in a single game drive. Famous for having the best leopard viewing in the world, the Sabi Sand area is known worldwide as 'The Land of the Leopard'.

Nine magnificent suites offer spacious and luxurious accommodation. Seven of the suites have tented roofs, blending the elegance of a by-gone colonial era with all the convenience of modern facilities. The beautifully appointed suites nestle amongst indigenous bush and trees that provide privacy, quiet and a haven for birds.

Specially designed game viewing vehicles and highly trained guides with vast knowledge of the African bushveld take guests on close and intimate encounters with a large variety of wildlife. Optional game walks are also offered to guests who would like to experience the fauna and flora on foot. 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.

Relaxation between game drives is important and what better way to unwind than with an invigorating massage. Savanna's own qualified therapist offers guests a range of treatments in the privacy of their suites. And, if a little retail therapy is called for, a visit to the curio and gift shop should do the trick.

Activities

Game Drives - Guests will enjoy two game drives per day. Savanna Lodge's vehicles are specially adapted for comfort and to seat 6 guests, ensuring a personal safari.

Bush walks - Bush walks are available in the morning with your ranger and will be tailor made around guests needs. 

Gym - Savanna has an air-conditioned gym we welcome guests to use during their stay.

Community projects and Village tours - Savanna is very involved with its local communities, and the lodge offers guests the chance to learn more about the projects they are running which include vegetable gardens and assisting the orphanage. A Village tour is also available to give guests an insight to the local people and their day to day lives.
 

 

Room Types

Savanna Suite

The Savanna Suite is an opulent home away from home under thatch.Two large, beautifully furnished bedrooms lie on either side of an inter-connecting lounge. Each has a spacious bathroom with free-standing bath, double vanities, double shower and toilet. The bathrooms open onto paved outdoor showers. The bedrooms have glass doors with screens leading out onto covered patios, plunge pool and wooden viewing deck. From here guests enjoy views of a private waterhole and the beauty of the African bush.

The lounge is a harmonious meld of elegance and comfort with sofas grouped around a television and DVD centre, and a cosy reading nook in front of the fireplace. Step through sliding glass doors onto a large covered patio where candle-lit dinners or private pre-dinner cocktails may be enjoyed. An attached fully equipped kitchen and guest restroom complete the impression of being in one's own exquisite home.

The Savanna Suite's unique facilities are much in demand by families who would like to have their children under the same roof but not in the same bedroom, or groups of friends wishing to spend quality time together. A butler in attendance at dinner and a private game viewing vehicle with dedicated ranger and tracker to take care of all their needs completes the Savanna Suite package.

Childminding can be arranged for children younger than 2 years old, allowing parents the leisure time to partake in game drives.
