My friend and I just enjoyed the most marvelous stay at Savanna. From the moment we arrived, our entire Savanna experience truly exceeded our expectations. The main lodge is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and a great place to share stories with other guests. Plus, most of your meals are served in there, as well. The menu, including 3-4 entree selections,... More

Savanna Lodge was recommended to me by an employee of another lodge (which had no availability for the last minute dates I wanted to visit). This person told me Savanna was HER favorite lodge. This was a very spur of the moment trip for me and it exceeded every expectation from the warm greeting as I arrived to the send... More

This was our last venue on a 3 week safari trip that started in Botswana, moved in to South Africa and ended here in paradise. Feeling increasingly less intrepid as we left the wilds of Botswana, we arrived at Savanna and all pretense of 'roughing it' vanished; you cannot even call this glamping... it is just completely and utterly luxurious....

What a fantastic place, we spent four nights here and felt like one of the family. The food and service were excellent even to the point that when you were out on the evening game drive there was a hot bath filled and ready for you on your return, pure heaven. The rangers and trackers know there stuff and we... More

We stayed here at the beginning of our honeymoon and loved it. Everything is faultless, the rooms are amazing, the Chef (Magners) couldn't be more accommodating, the staff are like one big family and treat you as an extension of that and the game drives are out of this world. We had Greg as our guide and were extremely glad.... More

You are pampered throughout your stay with excellent food and personal service with a big smile.

This was our first visit to South Africa and the three nights we stayed at Savanna Lodge were amazing. The staff were friendly but professional, the food was delicious, the "tents" were the ultimate in luxury and attention to every detail for our comfort.
