Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

Earth Lodge, return to the earth

At the heart of the famous Sabi Sand Reserve, Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is a true sanctuary, a symbol of a new era in luxury safaris in Africa. Sculpted into an earthen slope and almost invisible to the naked eye, it is a magical lodge that has adapted totally to its environment by integrating bold textures with striking architecture. Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is one of the lodges that has integrated best into its natural environment. From the moment you arrive, the experience begins. You wind your way along a path carved into the earth to emerge at a striking reception area opening majestically onto a granite bush dotted with rivers. You immediately feel a sense of peace and harmony. You continue your initiation by discovering one of the 13 suites, which completely break away from traditional safari codes. Ultra-luxurious, the suites have been designed as unique works of art with highly inspired ethnic design, giving pride of place to space and light to emphasise the beauty of the natural site. Finally, experienced rangers and trackers will thrill you to the rhythm of wildlife on 4x4 safaris or guided walks, to encounter the fauna of the legendary Kruger National Park.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

Each suite at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is an ode to nature, featuring natural wood sculptures by South African artist G. Armstrong. With a private pool, bathroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor shower, the experience is multi-sensory. The Amber Suite, with its tree-shaped headboard, is truly impressive.

ETHICS

The Sabi Sabi private reserve is developed on a model that balances sustainable tourism (respect for the site, water recycling), concrete conservation measures for the flora and fauna (eradication of alien plants) and tangible support for local communities (170 employees come from local villages and are then trained).
