Fodor's Expert Review Silvan Safari
Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa
Possibly the most exquisitely elegant lodge in the reserve, six spacious stylish suites themed around indigenous trees are clustered on the banks of the (mostly dry) Manyeleti river. Bespoke handmade, hand-embroidered furniture in the subtle colors of the surrounding jackalberry and leadwood forests are enhanced by bespoke fittings, original art, and superb attention to detail from copper lamps to marble-topped occasional tables. The huge wraparound wooden decks with river views have personal pools, outside showers, and comfy loungers where you can laze the day away between game drives.

- minibar stocked with all kinds of luxurious goodies
- privacy guaranteed
