Amaya Safari Lodge - Sabi Sands Game Reserve
Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
Set in the heart of the renowned Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Amaya Safari Lodge offers an authentic safari experience where untamed wilderness meets refined comfort. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African bush, guests are immersed in a world where daily game drives bring close encounters with the Big 5—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—along with a rich variety of birdlife and plains game. This exclusive lodge is designed for discerning travelers seeking a deep connection with nature without sacrificing modern comforts.
With just four elegantly appointed tented suites, Amaya delivers luxury accommodation in its purest form. Each suite features a king-size bed, air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, and private decks that open up to sweeping views of the bushveld. The lodge’s intimate setting ensures privacy and personal attention, while communal spaces like the plunge pool, open-air boma, and yoga deck invite moments of relaxation and reflection. At Amaya, every detail—from the curated décor to the gourmet meals—is crafted to elevate your safari into a truly memorable retreat.

...read moreWe’ve have just come back from a 3 night stay at earth lodge. One word incredible. We got to see the big 5 and a lot more animals. The game drives were amazing. The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great. The service and operational standards at this hotel are exceptional. I would 100% stay at this lodge again it was such an incredible experience

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.
From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.
Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.
Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.

Elephant Plains Reviews
We had some great wildlife photo moments with our experienced guide. The food was one of the highlights at Elephant Plains. Great value for money and we are already planning our next visit to Elephant Plains.
