Where You Can Stay

Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

The Safari Lodge of Tomorrow

An architectural masterpiece where sculpted spaces, natural textures and private plunge pools blend almost invisibly into the surrounding landscape.

Earth Lodge offers Sabi Sabi’s most contemporary and design-led safari experience. Its suites appear to emerge from the earth, using curved forms, stone, timber, light and organic textures to create a calm connection with the landscape.

The interiors are spacious and minimalist, with private patios, plunge pools and uninterrupted bushveld views. Rather than separating guests from nature, the architecture frames the wilderness as part of each living space.

Between safari activities, guests can relax at the spa, maintain their routine in the gym or enjoy quiet time in the lodge’s distinctive relaxation areas.

A subterranean wine cellar provides an atmospheric setting for intimate tastings of exceptional South African wines, while the unique day bar and thoughtfully designed communal spaces reinforce the lodge’s sense of tranquillity.

Best suited to:
Couples and design-conscious travellers seeking privacy, sustainability and a modern safari experience.

A vibrant, family-friendly lodge combining spacious suites, warm African design and lively shared areas overlooking the surrounding bushveld.

As Sabi Sabi’s flagship property, Bush Lodge offers a sociable and welcoming atmosphere suited to families, groups and first-time safari travellers.

Its spacious suites combine contemporary comfort with African-inspired furnishings, private patios and views over the surrounding wilderness. Selected accommodation options provide additional privacy and features for couples or honeymooners.

Sabi Sabi Selati Camp

Romance from a Bygone Era

An intimate camp inspired by Africa’s historic railways, where vintage details, lantern-lit evenings and elegant suites recreate the romance of early safari travel.

Selati Camp is defined by atmosphere, intimacy and nostalgia. Authentic railway memorabilia, antique details and softly illuminated spaces evoke the pioneering days of African travel.

The camp’s small collection of thatched suites creates a peaceful and personal setting. Each suite includes an en-suite bathroom, outdoor shower and private spaces for relaxing between safari activities.

Speciality suites offer additional features for romantic stays, including private terraces, outdoor bathing and plunge pools.

Evenings are particularly memorable, with candlelight, lanterns and traditional boma dinners adding to the camp’s old-world character.

Best suited to:
Couples, honeymooners and travellers drawn to history, romance and intimate surroundings.

Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp

An Intimate Riverside Escape

A secluded six-suite retreat beside the Msuthlu River, offering personal service, private decks and a peaceful atmosphere deep within the wilderness.

Little Bush Camp is the most intimate of Sabi Sabi’s four lodges, making it ideal for guests who value privacy and a slower, more secluded safari experience.

Its suites are positioned along the riverbank and include private viewing decks, outdoor showers and heated spa baths. The surrounding trees and vegetation create a strong sense of being hidden within the landscape.

The main lodge has a relaxed lounge and flexible indoor and outdoor dining areas, allowing meals to move with the weather and rhythm of the day.

With only a small number of guests, service feels highly personal and safari activities can be adapted to suit couples, families or private groups.

The camp can also be considered for exclusive use, creating a completely private base for a shared safari.

Best suited to:
Couples, small families and groups seeking seclusion, flexibility and personalised service.
