Overview

Luxury Treehouse Style Lodge in Kruger National Park, South Africa

South Africa Luxury Lodge in Sabi Sand Reserve

Perched among a canopy of 100-year-old trees overlooking the Sabie River, the style of the Lodge is that of a luxurious treehouse, where the main areas link to the private suites via raised wooden walkways. The thick green foliage beneath the overhanging roof of trees has a particular sound to it.

The luxury suites each afford complete privacy, and whether you choose to spend time at your private plunge pool overlooking the River, reclining on the couch in your lounge, lazing on your bed with a good book, or soaking in a bubble bath, you will not be cheated of the breathtaking panorama.

Enjoy a spa treatment at the skilled hands of one of our therapists.

Head into the bush twice a day in the company of our professional Guides and Trackers. You’ll discover another thriving world where we are merely observers.

Game Drives
What would an extraordinary safari be without an extraordinary Guide and Tracker? In our world, nothing less will do! We select every Guide and Tracker who is entrusted to share every magical experience with you. Field Guides and Trackers work together as a team out in the bush. The Trackers are the eyes and ears, while the Guides are the navigators and interpreters. In their expert hands, guests are treated to really close encounters with Africa’s most coveted animal species. This is where you will find one of the world’s only MASTER TRACKERS.

Our Field Guides are the quintessential hosts during a drinks stop out in the bush, as the day draws to an ambient close.
Children on safari will be riveted by what there is to see and learn out in the bush. Our Guides and Trackers take their responsibility as teachers and guardians very seriously.

2 safaris take place each day – in the morning and late afternoon (moving into the early evening). This is when the wildlife is most active, and the temperature more moderate. These safaris are not confined to main roads. Our Field Guides are able to navigate through dense bush, following the tracks of animals. With a limited number of vehicles on each property, and strict criteria governing sightings, guests are able to spend extended periods of time watching wildlife in its natural habitat.

Walks
The bush takes on a completely different perspective when you are on foot. Each of your senses will be on full alert as you feel the grass and stones beneath your feet; touch the leathery leaves of trees you walk beneath; smell the musky scent of wild animals in the vicinity; taste the sweet grass of the veld; and hear the crack of a branch indicating you are not alone.
Every guest will have unique interests, and the guides are adept at playing to those interests – be they mammals, birds, flora, insects or geology.

SAFETY FIRST! Guides and trackers accompanying guests will conduct a pre-trail briefing. They will explain more about the area in which the walk will take place, and what walkers need to know. This will include how guests should walk (single file behind the guide, no lagging behind), what to do in certain instances when encountering animals on the walk, information on medical kits and handheld radios etc.) First Aid kits and handheld radios are standard equipment on walks, so that in the unlikely event of an emergency, the group has contact with the lodge and access to basic medical equipment.
