Savanna Private Game Reserve
Savanna Private Game Reserve is a privately-owned, exclusive 5-star lodge set within the internationally renowned Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park Conservancy. With traversing rights across more than 10,000 hectares of pristine bushveld rich in dams and waterholes, the reserve delivers reliable Big Five sightings alongside cheetah, wild dog, hippo, crocodile and over 400 bird species, with elephants drawn to the dams near the lodge especially during the dry winter months.
Savanna comprises 9 suites across three categories — a two-bedroom Savanna Suite (up to 4 adults, or 2 adults plus 3 children, bookable as an exclusive-use family unit with its own private vehicle and guide), 3 Executive Suites and 4 Luxury Suites — most set under canvas-topped roofs that blend classic safari style with colonial-era elegance. Every suite has a private heated plunge pool, indoor and outdoor showers, a freestanding bath, air-conditioning, a minibar, coffee machine and WiFi. Lodge facilities include a main pool overlooking a floodlit waterhole, a loft library and lounge, a fully equipped gym, in-suite spa treatments and a wine cellar of curated South African wines; twice-daily game drives and bush walks are included in the rate.
Savanna is rated 5 of 5 on TripAdvisor from 706 reviews, ranked #4 of 274 specialty lodging in South Africa/Sabi Sand Game Reserve — one of the strongest positions of any Sabi Sand property researched for this project. Reviewers highlight spacious, immaculately clean suites, attentive service, and consistently exceptional game viewing, with one reviewer reporting leopard sightings on all eight game drives of their stay. Worth flagging: no significant recurring complaints were identified; guest sentiment is uniformly positive across a large review base, and the cost is generally viewed by reviewers as justified by the level of service and experience delivered.
