Johannesburgo

Spend two nights at the stunning Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp which is situated in the world-renowned 65000- hectare Sabi Sand Wildtuin (Sabi Sand Reserve) in the South-Western section of the Kruger National Park. Enjoy an up-close unobstructed view of Africa’s most iconic animals on multiple game drives into the bush. Home to the highest and most diverse concentration of wildlife in the southern hemisphere, you can see all of Africa’s iconic species here, including all of the Big Five, along with a supporting cast of no less intriguing 137 mammal species and over 450 varieties of bird – while having minimal encounters with other people

SABI SABI LITTLE BUSH CAMP

Little Bush Camp lies hidden in the shade of indigenous riverine trees, on a bend of the Msulthlu River. It is the smallest and most secluded of Sabi Sabi's lodges and styled to reflect the contemporary elegance that epitomizes Bush Lodge.

The lodge offers six suites, all with private decks overlooking the riverbed and surrounding natural bush. The lodge itself is intimate, centered on an inviting lounge and leading to an elegant outdoor dining area. The pool area is across the riverbed and an outdoor boma is the perfect setting for indulging in the finest safari cuisine.

Each thatched suite is individually styled with a designer bed, draped mosquito nets, genuine African artefacts, wooden finishes and creative use of colors, textures and light. Luxurious en suite bathrooms feature both indoor and outdoor showers, while the new heated spa bath on each secluded deck offers a delightfully decadent vantage point from which to relax and watch the bushveld and abundant wildlife.
