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.

We’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

Silvan Safari Lodge – Sabi Sands Game Reserve – Information

Silvan Safari Lodge offers a very unique and luxurious experience, it's one of the latest development in the Sabi Sands. A Silvan safari takes you on a spiritual yet exciting journey so you may reconnect with the soul of Africa and its incredible wildlife. Silvan's journey began eight years when a seed was planted to build a sanctuary in Sabi Sand Game Reserve, one of the African continent's most celebrated wildlife havens located in Big 5, big game territory. Today, this intimate and bespoke offering showcases Africa at it's finest in a luxury safari setting. Away from the crowds and a law unto itself, Sabi Sand Game Reserve allows for night drives, off-roading, and nature walks across its terrain. Silvan Safari transcends the typical notion of the African bush, surpasses the norm, and transforms it into something exceptional. Each guest is a vital part of the Silvan story. While guests leave forever changed by this experience, they also form part of a grander journey which sees Silvan partner with local communities to bring the Silvan experience to life, protecting safe havens for generations to come.
Each of Silvan's six suites offers luxury accommodation, extraordinary space, and exquisite river views. Every pod's private plunge pool is perfectly positioned for you to watch, cocktail in hand, as animals stroll by along the riverbed below. Silvan's family suite, the Leadwood, welcomes our multi-generational travelers. Inspired by the trees, Silvan's suites embrace their size and stature, providing ample space and light. Each one our pods has its own unique design and decor inspiration, which means that no two suites are alike. The spirit of the trees, Silvan's own inspiration, has been carried throughout the lodge with our bee-eater making frequent appearances. Grander safari suites would be difficult to find with each of Silvan's pods designed for exceptional space, comfort, and opulence.
While you need to look no further than the riverbed below Silvan to spot wildlife, game drives offer you the best chance to experience the incredible variety of animals which the Sabi Sand is so famous for. An early wake-up call at dawn will see you rise with the bush and its residents. We mimic the movements of the wild, going in search of wildlife when they're most likely to be on the move (early mornings, late afternoons, and evening) and retreating to the shade as they do for respite from the midday heat. Blankets and state-of-the-art Swarovski binoculars are available in our vehicles.
No Children allowed in Silvan Safari Lodge

The Sabi Sand Game Reserve shares un-fenced borders with South Africa's Kruger National Park and is celebrated for having the richest game population in the country and over 500 bird species, making it an exclusive safari destination. Guests need to look no further than the lodge itself where it has been a sanctuary for wildlife as much as it has been for its people. Our leopard, Tiyani, gave birth to her cub in our Ansellia Spa when it was just a shell while our resident elephant herds often wander through camp, drinking from our pools.

Silvan Safari is centred around a complete celebration of unique and exceptional experiences. Our mindful approach honours the intricate manner in which all life is connected.

From witnessing the unrivalled spectacle of the African sunrise, feasting on sensational culinary delights to connecting with the heart and soul of Silvan, our extraordinary people.
