In the western sector of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, lies over 10,000 hectares of pristine bushveld comprising the Savanna Private Game Reserve, and this is where you’ll find Savanna Lodge.
Here, nine-suites welcome guests into the ‘Savanna family’. Of the nine, three Executive Suites and four Luxury Suites, in particular, strive to recreate the true old-fashioned safari experience. Looking up at your draped ceilings, you will feel that you are sleeping in a Bedouin-style tent (yet can be safe in the knowledge that you’re in a permanent structure!).
All suites have covered patios for al fresco private meals, air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, and indoor and outdoor showers. The three Executive Suites each have a lounge and private plunge pool.
The main lodge includes a dining area, bar and wine cellar, and a loft library. Lush gardens surround the suites and the main lodge, and the swimming pool overlooks one of the five nearby waterholes.
