The Detail

Savanna Lodge is an exclusive 5-star retreat located in the famed Sabi Sand Reserve within the Greater Kruger National Park Conservancy. Known for frequent Big Five sightings—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—it's common to encounter all five on a single game drive. The lodge features nine luxurious suites, including seven with tented roofs, combining colonial elegance with modern amenities like private patios, plunge pools, outdoor showers, air conditioning, and well-stocked minibars.

Lodge Amenities

Guests can relax in the main lounge or by the pool, both offering views of a floodlit waterhole. The loft above the lounge provides a quiet spot for birdwatching or playing chess, while the library offers internet access and photo-transfer facilities. The lodge also boasts a wine cellar, bar, Shangaan boma dining area, gym, and massage services.
