The Detail

A Silvan safari is centered around a complete celebration of unique and exceptional experiences. The mindful approach honors the intricate manner in which all life is connected. From witnessing the unrivaled spectacle of the African sunrise and feasting on sensational culinary delights to connecting with the heart and soul of Silvan—the extraordinary people—Silvan is like nothing ever seen before. It is a wonder waiting to captivate the heart and connect it to the glorious African spirit.

Embodying exclusivity and one-of-a-kind opulence, each of Silvan Safari's six luxury suites offers an extraordinary space with exquisite views. Every pod's private plunge pool is perfectly positioned for you to watch wildlife stroll by along the Manyeleti riverbed below, cocktail in hand. Inspired by the trees, the luxury suites embrace their size and stature, providing ample space and light. Even more expansive is Silvan Safari's family suite, the Leadwood, which warmly welcomes multi-generational travelers.

While you need to look no further than the riverbed below Silvan Safari to spot wildlife, the lodge's private game drives provide the best opportunity to experience the incredible variety of animals for which the Sabi Sand is famous. As a private game reserve, guests also have the exclusive opportunity to traverse the bush on foot, go off-road on safari drives, and head out on night safaris with a spotlight. An early wake-up call at dawn will see you rise with the bush and its residents, your heart fluttering in anticipation. While out on safari, blankets will keep you snug on the open-air vehicle, and state-of-the-art Swarovski binoculars will help you observe every detail.

During game drives, guides mimic the movements of the wildlife, searching for animals when they are most active—early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings—and retreating to the shade for respite during the midday heat, just like the animals. While lounging on your expansive deck, you may witness an elephant or two visiting, dipping their trunks into your private plunge pool to quench their thirst. Whether you are on safari or relaxing in the lodge, you can always expect the unexpected with wildlife species found everywhere, sometimes even within the lodge itself.
