On arrival at Skukuza airport you will be transferred to the luxurious Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge for four nights. Earth Lodge is a sanctuary symbolizing a new era in luxury South African safari lodges. Sculpted into a slope of the earth, almost invisible in the landscape, the lodge uses texture, light and space to present a lodge like no other. Taking its cue from the surrounding environment, it has been described as the most environmentally sensitive lodge in Africa.

Earth Lodge reveals itself in a series of sensory revelations. On arrival a hidden corridor leads you down on a journey to a unique and unforgettable experience. The unexpected entrance opens to a panorama of uninterrupted bushveld. As in nature everything at Earth Lodge exists in harmony and you are immediately aware of a sense of calm and a restoring spirit. Home to 13 ultra-luxurious suites, the lodge breaks with traditional bush lodge style to create a masterpiece of artistry and innovation. Each of the suites at this luxury lodge features individually designed furniture, private plunge pool, en-suite glass fronted bathroom and indoor and outdoor shower.

Game Drives
There is nothing quite as stirring as the sight of a lion, elephant or rhino roaming free in the bush;  as haunting as the sound of a hyaena laughing in the dead of night;  as electrifying as the tension one feels when following spoor along a dry riverbed.  This is what makes the Sabi Sabi experience so memorable. Day and night safaris in open safari vehicles, led by highly trained Game Rangers and qualified Trackers, follow the animals on and off-road, deep into the heart of the wild African Bushveld. Big game abounds and roams freely throughout this pristine part of the ancient African continent.  The diverse habitat is home to spectacular wildlife including the Big 5 – lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant – as well as cheetah, wild dog and some 200 other animal species indigenous to the area.

Walking Safaris
Also led by highly trained Game Ranger, walking safaris allow guests to feel the pulse of untamed Africa through the soles of their feet.  This is an included optional activity that is typically done after the morning game drive.
