Savanna Private Game Lodge is an exclusive 5-star sanctuary nestled in the heart of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, part of the greater Kruger National Park conservancy—an area world-renowned for its abundant wildlife and exceptional Big Five sightings.
Located in what is often referred to as “The Land of the Leopard,” Savanna offers a safari experience unlike any other.
It’s not uncommon to encounter lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino all in a single game drive.
The region boasts the best leopard viewing in the world, making it a dream destination for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike.
Expertly guided game drives in specially designed vehicles offer close-up encounters with Africa’s most iconic wildlife.
For a more immersive experience, optional guided bush walks allow guests to explore the flora and fauna on foot.
A series of nearby waterholes and dams—especially active during the dry season—attract an impressive array of animals, including daily visits from elephants.
When not exploring the wilderness, guests can indulge in relaxing spa treatments delivered in the privacy of their suites by Savanna’s in-house therapist. A curio and gift shop on-site provides a touch of retail therapy with hand-selected mementos and locally crafted goods.
Savanna also offers cultural and scenic excursions, including tours of an authentic Shangaan village, a visit to a traditional healer, and the opportunity to explore the breathtaking Panorama Route.
For a truly unforgettable experience, guests can ride and feed elephants at a nearby sanctuary. Golf outings can be arranged at the Skukuza course or the exclusive Leopard Creek Country Club, with all activities carefully timed so guests never miss a game drive or meal.
At the heart of Savanna is a warm and welcoming team that provides personalized service, treating every guest as part of the extended Savanna family.
From the moment you arrive, you’re not just a visitor—you’re home.
