Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

The cuisine philosophy at Earth Lodge is that dishes are simply prepared and executed with class, focusing on flavour over fuss. Each meal is carefully conceptualized taking into account the time of day, weather, dining setting and season.

An early morning call from the Ranger will wake you before first light, while the kitchen brews hot coffee or tea, and prepares cool fruit juices with a muffin, rusk or other freshly made delicacy. So begins the morning safari.

On the morning environmental awareness walking safari, you can be part of a small group that sets out on foot after breakfast. The walk is an opportunity to feel the pulse of Africa through the soles of your feet and experience the bushveld at close quarters.

Evening falls and you prepare for the night safari. As the fierce heat of the day cools, the inhabitants of the bush become restless, and the animals move out of the shade of the trees. The call of the crested francolin reverberates through the bushveld and birds increase the volume of their song. As the sun dips behind the horizon your Ranger will choose a spot where you can stretch your legs and enjoy sundowners. Watch in awe as the sky turns to the sensational vibrant reds, golds and oranges typical of an African sunset. It is during evening safaris that the nocturnal hunters start stirring, and their prey needs to be alert for survival through the night.
