Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a direct flight from Johannesburg or Cape Town to Skukuza Airport, conveniently located inside Kruger National Park.

Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by an Africa Moja Tours representative and transferred in an open safari vehicle to Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge, just 30–45 minutes away.
Check-in and refresh in your private, air-conditioned luxury suite, complete with a personal plunge pool, glass-fronted design, and views over the untouched wilderness.
Enjoy a light lunch or high tea before heading out on your first evening game drive in a custom 4×4 safari vehicle. Led by expert rangers and Shangaan trackers, you’ll search for elephants, lions, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos as the sun dips behind the savannah.

Return to the lodge and experience a 3-course gourmet dinner under the stars in the outdoor boma, or opt for in-suite dining if you prefer total seclusion.

Wake before dawn for coffee and rusks before heading out on a sunrise game drive, the best time to catch predators on the move and witness the bush awakening.
Enjoy a full bush breakfast on your return, served with views of the surrounding wilderness and nearby waterholes.
Spend the late morning relaxing at the lodge — book a treatment at the Amani Spa, read in the underground Zen meditation area, or cool off in your plunge pool.
After afternoon tea, set out on your second game drive. Sabi Sand is famed for close- up leopard sightings, so keep your camera ready.
Return to Earth Lodge for another exquisite dinner experience. Opt to explore the underground wine cellar, where you can enjoy a private tasting or wine-paired dinner curated by the lodge’s sommelier.

Begin with another early morning game drive, perfect for tracking elusive species like cheetah, hyena, or African wild dog.
Join your tracker on a guided bush walk (optional), where you’ll learn about animal tracks, plants, birdlife, and smaller creatures that are often missed on drives.
Back at the lodge, take the afternoon to unwind — perhaps with a drink at the lodge bar, a soak in your outdoor stone bath, or a casual lunch overlooking the plains.
In the evening, your final game drive offers one last opportunity to capture that perfect wildlife moment.
Tonight, enjoy a farewell dinner in the lodge’s art gallery-inspired dining room or by candlelight in the bush — a signature Sabi Sabi experience.

One final sunrise game drive gives you the chance to say goodbye to the bush, followed by a relaxed breakfast at the lodge.
After checkout, you’ll be transferred back to Skukuza Airport for your flight to Johannesburg or Cape Town, where your African safari journey comes to an end.
