Design sanctuary in the middle of the bush

Arriving at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is a spectacular experience. Earth Lodge lies sunken in a slope of the earth, making it a surrealistic point of entry to your Sabi Sands safari experience. Its earthly architecture makes clever use of texture, space and light. The lodge is clearly inspired by the surrounding African bushveld environment and you will notice that nature determines the pace of life here. A hidden entrance passage opens to an incredible view of the bush. Earth Lodge is a modern mix of gleaming tiles, recessed lighting and the warm tones of natural fibres. Luxurious African-style décor and the heavy “bunker” themed walls and ceilings create a completely unusual safari vibe: in some ways the property is futuristic and in others, a stone-age cave.

Earth Lodge provides a welcome break from more traditional safari lodges and camps throughout Africa. The outer worldly design features of Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge take you away from daily routine and lets you restore your senses and spirit. Just thirteen ultra luxurious suite (including the massive Amber suite) make up Earth Lodge, providing privacy for every traveller to this remote corner of the earth. Each of the suites features an indoor and outdoor shower, individually designed furniture, as well as a private plunge pool. The indoor-outdoor dining area overlooks a waterhole and the bushveld, the lodge has a library, underground wine cellar, Zen garden and Amani Spa.

Tripadvisor comments Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

The rooms are incredible. Large and well equipped. The outdoor space is to-die-for. Loved the outdoor shower. One of our highlights was the elephant grazing by the pool one afternoon. Oh, and also the elephant on the roof of the lodge!

Words can’t even begin to fully describe this place but I will certainly try. Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge blew my expectations away. The accommodations, staff, food, spa, scenery, and of course the game drives were unbelievable. Our two game drive experts, Jamiel and Louis, were so knowledgeable and made our first safari trip exceptional. We couldn’t thank them enough! I highly recommend this place to see the big five.
