Sabi Sabi: A Safari That Feels Like Home

We have a soft spot for Sabi Sabi. Our Co-Founder Richard was a Leading Guide at this prestigious lodge in South Africa and it’s also where we met his wife, Jenna. It’s one of the most loved & trusted lodges in South Africa and is an absolute must-visit for First Time Safaris, honeymoons & kiddie – friendly safaris.

In Richard’s words:

Some places leave a mark on your heart. Others become part of it. For me, Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve is the latter.

“I spent five years of my life living and guiding at Sabi Sabi, immersed in the rhythm of the bush, the luxury of the lodges, and the extraordinary wildlife encounters that unfolded daily. Today, it’s still very much part of my life—my wife works in the marketing team, and every time we return, it feels like stepping back into a familiar embrace. There’s something about Sabi Sabi that goes beyond the safari. It’s family. It’s home.“

And that’s exactly the kind of place we love to send our guests.

It’s a sanctuary of soul-stirring moments, seamless service, and deeply personalized experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goer or taking your first steps into the African wilderness, this is a place where expectations are not only met but surpassed with quiet elegance.

There are four different Luxury Lodges within the stable and each one has its own unique character and style.

Bush Lodge is perfect for families, with its open-plan design, warm atmosphere, and dedicated EleFun Centre—a world-class space where kids can learn, explore, and fall in love with the bush in their own way.

Earth Lodge is nothing short of extraordinary. Carved into the landscape, it offers a level of sophistication and exclusivity that makes it ideal for honeymooners or those seeking a retreat into nature with a modern, luxurious twist.

Selati Camp brings old-world romance and charm, perfect for couples wanting something deeply atmospheric.

Little Bush Camp is intimate and tranquil, great for private getaways or small groups wanting that peaceful slice of wilderness.
