Dining at the Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

The earthy yet luxurious ambience at Earth Lodge lends itself to cuisine which reflects the very latest international trends, prepared with fresh ingredients. The Executive chef prepares a menu that could best be described as 'Afro-Asian'. The focus is on new South African produce with a delicate Asian twist.

Each meal is carefully conceptualised taking into account the time of day, weather, dining setting and season. Dishes served at Earth Lodge are prepared to look as good as they taste, with Sabi Sabi's magnificent bush being the perfect backdrop for delicious gourmet dining.

Dining at the Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

The Executive chef at Bush Lodge has a wealth of vast world experience and describes his cuisine as Contemporary African.  New international trends blend with traditional African fare to create a unique and delicious menu. The dishes include South African braais/ barbeques and African mezze platters.

The chef's trademark is cooking as much as possible freshly over the grills, thereby capturing the freshness and barbeque taste which combines excellently with the fusion of fresh ingredients.  Being also very well trained in Indian vegetarian cuisine and catering to individual needs, makes dining here a pleasant affair.

Dining

The head chefs at the Selati Camp and the Little Bush Camp concentrate on home cooked South African menus. The emphasis is on preparing dishes with the freshest ingredients, and unique flavours brought together in a unique and delicious, traditional South African way.  The menus served at the Selati, and Little Bush Camp are hearty, scrumptious and deliciously different.

Flights to Skukuza are quick and easy from either O.R. Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) or Cape Town International Airport. Stepping off a plane that a short while ago departed from a bustling city, into the African bushveld is an exciting start to a safari adventure.

At Skukuza Airport, once guests have disembarked the aircraft, they are welcomed by a designated Sabi Sabi ranger. As soon as luggage is collected, the transfer in an open safari vehicle in the unspoilt wilderness begins. Ice cold water is served to replenish travellers while they enjoy the natural surrounds, in a drive that takes less than 60 minutes to their Sabi Sabi lodge of choice.
