Location & Setting

Earth Lodge is Sabi Sabi’s flagship in the southern Sabi Sand, part of the unfenced Greater Kruger ecosystem. Its land-integrated design sits low and unobtrusive, with views across open bushveld and a wildlife-rich watercourse. Access is simple via flights to Skukuza Airport, followed by a short road transfer that typically enters the reserve at Shaw’s Gate. The surrounding mosaic of woodland and open clearings is classic Sabi Sand—renowned for frequent big-cat sightings and diverse general game.

Rooms

There are 13 ultra-luxurious suites, each individually furnished and opening to a private deck with a heated plunge pool. Glass-fronted bathrooms and indoor/outdoor showers frame the bush, while natural textures and sculpted, custom furniture keep the aesthetic calm and contemporary. The Amber Presidential Suite elevates the experience with a separate lounge, private dining area, study, kitchen and steam room—designed for guests seeking maximum privacy and space.

Facilities

Central areas include a lounge, bar and dining spaces that flow to expansive terraces for alfresco meals and arm-chair game viewing. Signature features are the subterranean wine cellar (stocked with 6,000+ bottles of flagship South African wines) and an on-site art aesthetic that extends across sculpted pieces and gallery-style details. Wellness is a strong focus, with Amani Spa & Wellness and a gym that overlooks the bush—ideal between drives or before dinner in the boma under the stars.
