Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge

Description

Earth Lodge represents the future in the form of a unique lodge nestled in the bush that was inspired by Earth Shelter Architecture from the Middle Ages. Its organic architecture literally merges with the environment, creating an earthy vitality that pervades every room. It is, quite simply, a luxurious wilderness retreat, and a world first, breaking from the traditional style of lodge to set a new standard.  Earth Lodge comprises a superb wine cellar with over 6000 bottles of wine, the Earth Nature Spa with a range of treatments offered by Camelot International, boutique curio shop, dining area and open air boma.  As with all Sabi Sabi lodges, skilled rangers and trackers lead guests in open landrovers on a journey of discovery to view the elusive “Big Five” and there is also the option of an environmental walking safari.
