About the Lodge

Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve is one of the founding pillars of luxury safari in southern Africa — a reserve that has been delivering extraordinary Big Five game viewing in the Sabi Sand for over four decades. Home to four distinct lodge experiences, Sabi Sabi's Earth Lodge is its crowning jewel — an architectural masterpiece built below the horizon so as not to disrupt the ancient skyline of the Lowveld. The reserve's guiding team is among the most experienced in Africa, and leopard sightings are a daily occurrence.
