You can fly from JNB to Skukuza (SZK), Hoedspruit (HDS) or Nelspruit/KMIA (MQP), then road transfer to the lodge or take a lodge-link flight to Arathusa (ASS)/Elephant Plains airstrip with a ~2–5 min game-drive transfer to camp. Self-drive via Gowrie Gate (cash fees per person/vehicle apply).
The luxury Suites nr4–6 face open riverbed/veld with broad views from glass-fronted lounges. Each adds a private deck, indoor bath, indoor/outdoor showers and AC. Manyeleti Honeymoon Suite is glass-fronted with a private splash pool and daybed for wildlife watching. The two-bedroom Elephant/Luxury Family Suite gives families space plus a large deck over the open area.
Breakfast and lunch buffet-style in the dining room or on the deck. Evenings are multi-course boma dinners by log fire, blending SA favourites with international dishes. Dietary needs catered with prior notice.
Neutral layers, light fleece for winter mornings, brimmed hat, polarised sunglasses, swimsuit for the pools, soft shoes for short bush walks, and a small dry bag for cameras on dusty drives.
Ask for a boma table near the fire on clear nights to stay warm. Keen gym-goers should grab a mid-day session when vehicles are out and the gym is quiet.
Sabi Sand’s GCC funds anti-poaching, habitat management and community projects across the reserve. Lodge emphasises guest education as its core contribution.
