A private reserve in the south-west section of the Greater Kruger National Park, close to the Mozambican border, Sabi Sabi is home to 4 distinctive lodges. Earth Lodge is the most forward-thinking among them – a dramatic, open-plan structure inspired by nature that makes the most of the elements and its elevated location near a watering hole, with spectacular views of the surrounding bushveld throughout.
From the main area, a lounge and day bar flow off to the left. The latter features large day beds, as well as chairs and tables slightly submerged in water – a sensory touch that allows guests to cool off over drinks or lunch. On the same side, you’ll also find the Amani Spa, where therapists will soothe tired muscles.
On the other side, a well-equipped gym is ready for those keen to work out, while the boma is a prominent gathering place before dinner.
The 12 spacious, earth-rooted suites fan out on both sides. Each comes with its own private plunge pool, as well as expansive bathrooms with bathtubs and indoor and outdoor showers. Children over the age of 13 are welcome, with the two-bedroom Amber Villa sleeping up to five guests.
Food plays an important part of a stay here – with highlights including sundowners on your afternoon game drive and dinner in a variety of surprise settings.
Twice-daily game drives will take you in search of the Big Five as well as other intriguing wildlife. Guests also have the option to set off on bushwalks for an up-close look at the resident wild- and plant-life, as well as thrilling night drives that reveal the area’s nocturnal life, specialised birding safaris, and local community visits.
