This unique private game reserve is situated in the world renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, that borders on South Africa`s famous Kruger National Park.
Savanna Private Game Reserve is the epitome of a fully inclusive and diverse African wildlife and cultural experience, from memorable and exciting big game viewing, a nostalgic voyage into the pioneering era of the early settlers and founders of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, to a fascinating insight into the local tribal customs of the Shangaan people.
The central facilities include a dining room, lounge, bar and wooden deck, all overlooking a waterhole where some of Africa`s impressive wildlife come down to drink.
Full English breakfasts and lunches are served on the open air verandah, and dinner is served in the starlit boma.
The bar stocks an impressive array of quality South African wines, as well as a large selection of beers, spirits, and soft drinks.
In between game viewing activities and meals, guests may relax around the swimming pool or browse through the curio shop.
Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, cheetah, hippo and crocodile plus a multitude of general game and over 450 bird species may be viewed from the comfort and safety of the open game drive vehicle.
Game drives are conducted by professional and extremely well qualified game rangers and trackers, who are experienced, and knowledgeable on all aspects of the bush.
Two state of the art landrovers are used for game drives and have been expertly modified to ensure your safety and comfort. The afternoon game drive is purposefully interupted for sundowners to witness an African Sunset, and the absolute peace and quiet of the bush.
Optional walking safaris are conducted daily, in order to experience the beauty and fascination of Africa's flora and fauna.
