Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

private lodge

Sabi Sabi has been family-owned since 1979 and operates four lodges with distinct identities on the same reserve — Selati Camp's railway-era styling, the contemporary Bush Lodge, the intimate Little Bush Camp, and the minimalist-luxury Earth Lodge. The reserve limits how many vehicles can attend a single sighting, a deliberate constraint on the traversing arrangement between neighbouring lodges.

What sets it apart

Four genuinely different lodge styles on one reserve, letting a return visitor pick a different experience of the same land.

Who it suits

Travellers who want to choose a specific lodge aesthetic rather than take whatever style a single-property reserve offers.

What it costs

No fixed nightly rate is published on the official site. Third-party packages reported around US$1,730-$10,172 per person for multi-day stays — dynamic, package-based pricing, not a confirmed rate for a single night.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
