Wake up in your tastefully furnished en suite chalet scattered through indigenous bush and trees. Except for the regular game drives in the early morning and late afternoon, you can also do an optional bush walk accompanied by a ranger with a comprehensive knowledge of all flora and fauna found in Sabi Sand. Or just sit on your private decks in the chalet looking onto the waterholes that may attract many species of wildlife especially in the dry winter months.

Your authentic and exciting African wildlife exploration continues. A bush stop with the famous Savanna Amarula hot chocolate or coffee during the early morning game will add another lifetime memory to you. While in the afternoon game drive, stop for the splendor of an African sunset and the absolute tranquility of the brush.

After three days of outdoor activities, the entertainment facilities in the resort may get your attention. Join in a cooking class, following the chef to the self-sustainable resort vegetable garden, learning traditional preparation, and trying to cook local dishes on your own. Or you can take some time in the gym, find some interesting books in the reading room, and then sprawl in deck chairs to enjoy stunning ocean views.
