South African Lodges

Samara Private Game Reserve has once again been featured in the exclusive Conde Nast Traveller magazine.
Peter Browne in his own words ‘ turned his back on the Indian Ocean and headed inland…to The Great Karoo, an indelible place in the hearts of South Africans.’
‘Before the settlers arrived, these open plains and fertile valleys were rich in wildlife. There are tales of springbok migrations in the 19th century involving thousands of antelope;of herds of elephant and Cape Mountain zebra, of plentiful kudu, black wildebeest and eland. Outside the national parks,they are all long gone,…recently a number of game farms have opened….genuine outfits with sound ecological credentials such as Samara Private Game Reserve.’ Read more

Earth Hour at Sabi Sabi Game Reserve, South Africa / Kruger National Park

Sabi Sabi has once again committed to its support of Earth Hour and will be turning off the electric lights at all of our lodges from 20h30 – 21h30 on 27 March.

While every evening at Sabi Sabi has an element of Earth Hour to it – romantic dinners lit by the gentle glow of oil lamps, roaring boma fires bathed in the moonlight and brilliant starlight of the African night skies – extra steps will be taken at that hour in solidarity with the worldwide initiative.
