Connect to the Heart of Africa

Silvan Safari: A Celebration of Connection, Creativity, and the Wild

At Silvan Safari, guests are invited to experience Africa like never before - a soulful journey rooted in the deep connections between nature, people, and place. From the first rays of an African sunrise to exquisite meals under the stars, and every moment of warm connection in between, Silvan is more than a destination—it’s a celebration of life in its most beautiful, wild form.

Where Safari Meets Artistry

Set within the serene leadwood and jackalberry forest of the renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Silvan Safari redefines luxury in the bush. Bold, contemporary architecture blends seamlessly with bohemian elegance, creating a canvas of artistic expression. Every corner tells a story - through intricate handwoven works, dramatic art installations, and spaces curated with soulful precision.
