The Granite Suites are nestled in a private concession of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and is named after the impressive use of granite materials in the lodge's decor and general construction. A relaxing surrounding of subtle colors and aged, sturdy accommodation, with modern and comfortable interiors, Granite Suites is the ideal destination for a family or small group looking for an intimate African safari getaway.
The three Granite Suites are positioned among the Granite rocks alongside the Sand River. They feature four-poster king-size beds draped with mosquito netting, ensuite bathrooms with double vanities, outdoor bathtubs, and outdoor showers. Additional amenities include underfloor heating, lounge areas, writing desks, air conditioning, bathrobes, in-room safes, hairdryers, minibars, tea and coffee-making facilities, and viewing decks with heated swimming pools, salas, and loungers.
The camp facilities include a lounge, dining area, bar, gym, internet access, kids club, laundry service, spa, curio shop, and a swimming pool.
The Big Five, along with impala, common waterbuck, grey duiker, kudu, bushbuck, nyala, giraffe, and warthog, all roam freely. The ever-present Sand River is home to Cape clawless otters and hippo groups, while guests may spot white-tailed mongoose, African civet, and large-spotted genet during nighttime safaris.
Over 303 bird species call this area home, including white-crested helmetshrike, lilac-breasted roller, brown-headed parrot, emerald-spotted dove, scarlet-chested sunbird, woodland kingfisher, red-chested cuckoo, Wahlberg’s eagle, and crested francolin. Saddle-billed storks, grey herons, and pied kingfishers gather around the park's waterholes.

I wanted to arrange a visit to South…
I wanted to arrange a visit to South Africa , bringing my family of 14, to celebrate my 80th birthday in 2027. Sara was unbelievable. Not only did she come up with a great itinerary but my many emails to her were answered almost immediately. I could not fault her customer service and I would highly recommend using her services to anyone planning a trip to South Africa, be it a safari or a combination safari/travel trip.

Great experience with Sara from Safari.com!
We planned a journey to namibia and found safari.com as an interesting travel agency. Sara was fantastic. She had great ideas and always tried to realize what we had in our mind and finally planned an amazing journey for us. We skipped plans, hotels and changed ideas, but all the time she was very professional, patient and enthusiatic about planning the perfect journey. Even in Namibia we stayed in contact with her and she helped us when we where behind schedule because of delays. Thank you so much Sara for planning this for us, we will keep this journey in our hearts and minds! I would highly recommend safari.com and specially Sara to anyone planning a journey in Africa!
