Property details

The property

At the heart of the lodge, views stretch out from the patio across the gardens and surrounding bush. During the heat of summer, the main swimming pool is the perfect spot to relax and watch wildlife come to drink at the waterhole. The library offers internet facilities, and the chance to download the day's photographs. Curl up with a pair of binoculars on one of the raised viewing decks, or visit the curio shop for some retail therapy.

The rooms

Four luxurious canvas suites tucked away under shady trees offer a tented experience with all the comforts you'd expect, like private decks overlooking the waterholes, en-suite bathrooms, and indoor and outdoor showers. A trio of executive suites, each with its own plunge pool, offers an even more lavish tented experience, while the exquisite two-bedroomed Savanna Suite with its own swimming pool and private game viewing vehicle makes this the ultimate exclusive option for a family or group of friends.

Activities

Game drives are the main focus at Savanna, and professional guides and trackers will see to it that you experience as much as possible in this game-rich area. Between drives, guests are free to relax back at the lodge, work out in the gym, or enjoy a spot of shopping in the curio shop. Spa treatments are available from the resident massage therapist, and cultural visits to the surrounding areas can be arranged in between game drives.

Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

Twice a week Savanna serves dinner on the old Selati railway carriage. It's a unique and truly special venue which will take you back in time to the early days of safari, after-dinner whiskies included!
Something to think about
