Located in Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjoined to the famous Kruger National Park, Silvan Safari is an artwork in itself. It features contemporary architecture offering mindful luxury in the heart of the wilderness.
A Silvan safari is centred around a complete celebration of unique and exceptional experiences. The mindful approach honours the intricate manner in which all life is connected. From witnessing the unrivaled spectacle of the African sunrise, feasting on sensational culinary delights to connecting with the heart and soul of Silvan, the extraordinary people. Silvan is like nothing ever seen before, 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, cocktail in hand, as wildlife stroll by along the Manyeleti riverbed below. Inspired by the trees, the luxury suites embrace their size and stature, providing ample space and light. Even larger yet is Silvan Safari's family suite, the Leadwood, and welcomes our multi-generational travellers.
While you need to look no further than the riverbed below Silvan Safari to spot wildlife, the lodge's private game drives offer you the best chance to experience the incredible variety of animals which the Sabi Sand is so famous for up-close. 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 are provided to keep you snug on the open-air vehicle and state-of-the-art Swarovski binoculars to help you take in every detail.
While on game drives, guides mimic the movements of the wild, searching for wildlife when they're most likely to be on the move (early mornings, late afternoons, and evening) and retreating to shade just like they do for respite from the midday heat. While lounging on your expansive deck, an elephant or two might visit you, tipping their trunks into your private plunge pool to quench their thirst. Wherever you find yourself, you can expect the unexpected with wildlife species found everywhere, and even sometimes in the lodge.

Aquilia Safari trip
Re: Safari from Cape Town to Aquilia. Fadiel was very helpful and organised our trip for us. We were picked up by Joe, who was our driver for the day. Joe is born and raised in Cape Town. He was prompt and was very friendly and informative. There was a good choice of food at Aquilia and had choices for my husband too who is Coeliac.

Mel is friendly and patient
I would usually book my trips myself. Lucky for me I sent off an enquiry to Safari.com and received Mel's wonderful help. Mel responded quickly and made me feel comfortable with Safari.com. organising my trip. Later on, when I realised my dates didn't work with the rest of my trip, Mel gave me my options and costings and rebooked for me. Mel was very patient and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mel again.

Planning Our Family African Safari Experience
Planning our first trip to Africa was a really big deal for us. After careful review of numerous safari planners, we selected safari.com and worked with Nicole Van der Merwe. There's a lot of parts in putting together such a vacation including ground transfers, hotels, activities, and flights. At each step we had numerous questions and Nicole patiently worked through these with professionalism and care to her customers. I would recommend Nicole and safari.com for anyone planning a trip to South Africa.
