Location & Setting
The lodge lies in the north-western Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, unfenced to Kruger, allowing free movement of wildlife. Access is typically via Skukuza or local airstrips with a short road transfer through Newington Gate. Riverine forest, granite koppies, and open clearings create varied habitats and excellent sightings.
Rooms
Four expansive suites—usually three sold unless taken exclusively—feature king beds, fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, indoor rainfall showers, and private decks with infinity-edge plunge pools. Thoughtful comforts include air-conditioning, underfloor heating, a minibar, quality coffee and tea, and panoramic windows framing the riverine bush.
Facilities
Shared spaces include a lounge and bar, dining terraces and a firelit boma, and a curated wine cellar. Wellness is delivered privately in your suite by trained therapists. Twice-daily game drives are standard, with the option to arrange a private vehicle (subject to availability) for maximum flexibility and photography.
