Savanna Lodge

Sabi Sands, South Africa

Lavish retreat in the coveted Sabi Sands

The unique Savanna Lodge is situated in the world renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which borders South Africa’s famous Kruger National Park.

Savannah offers three types of Suites: Luxury Tented, Executive and the Savanna Suite. The Luxury Tented and Executive Suites combine the romance of a tented roof, with the sophistication of a permanent structure that ensures luxury and privacy. The Savanna Suite is situated at the very edge of the bush, with an uninterrupted view onto a waterhole. It has two beautifully appointed bedrooms, separated by a large lounge and private dining area and a private deck and plunge pool.

The central lounge and dining room are in an impressive building under thatch, with a view of the swimming pool and waterhole. Enjoy game viewing from the upstairs library, where wifi access is available, or browse the well-stocked curio shop. The open air boma creates a warm, friendly atmosphere, where traditional African meals can be enjoyed under the stars.

In order to showcase the beauty and fascination of Africa’s flora and fauna optional walking safaris are offered each day, along with trips from the lodge to the local Shangaan Village. Game drives are conducted by professional and extremely well qualified game rangers and trackers, who are experienced and knowledgeable on all aspects of the bush. Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, cheetah, hippo & crocodile plus a multitude of general game and over 450 bird species may be viewed from the comfort& safety of your open vehicle.

Savanna Lodge is an exclusive 5 star lodge in the game-rich Sabi Sand.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
