Wow! Me and my wife visited South Africa last year - we did the garden route, through the Eastern Cape and then up to the bush before returning to Johanesburg to fly home. It was 2 weeks of awe inspiring scenery and friendly visits. By far the best experience we had was at Sabi Sabi, Earth lodge. You don't appreciate... More

We like to go on a five star family holiday every year and combine the best of everything with a new adventure experience, after travelling through Vietnam the year before we did some research on South Africa for our 2011 adventure. As we travel frequently every year we rely on advice from our agent who specializes in all things 5... More

On approaching Earth Lodge, one can already sense that there is a difference here. There is no grandiose approach as one comes near, no sweeping view of the camp with wooden walkways stretching out alongside a river bank, no sense of a human enclave pitted against the rugged wilderness. Instead, what greets you is a perfectly normal grassy hill in... More

My wife and I visited Selati Camp first followed by Earth Lodge. When approaching Earth Lodge it looks as though you are stopping by an innocuous hill in bush. You walk down a winding pathway into the hill and an amazing lodge awaits through the doors. Whereas Selati Camp has a bit of a rustic feel, Earth Lodge is all... More

We visited Earth Lodge at the beginning of November for 4 days and I cried during the entire flight to the next reserve when we had to bid farewell. Earth Lodge is forever etched in our hearts and minds. it is THE BEST PLACE on this planet. Your personal guide is waiting for you when you land at the air... More

My wife and I had 3 nights here in early November 2011. It is quite different to the other game lodges we have stayed at. On arrival there are no buildings to be seen, entry is gained by going down a ramp and through a set of double doors. Reception is more akin to a hotel than a lodge. It... More

I want to start off by saying this review is a prospective of comparing very high end rooms to this one. The suite is enormous very clean. Furniture is tasteful and well kept. The walls are covered in a mud/straw treatment. The décor is interesting. There is a bar/kitchenette with a frig. stocked with varies beverages. There is a den/office... More

My wife and I spent an incredible five nights at Earh Lodge in September and cannot find enough superlatives to adequately describe the experience. From the time we were greeted on arrival until our departure we were feted, spoiled and treated to a continually unfolding programme of delights. We had seen the big five several times over by the second... More

Surely one of the most unique Safari Lodges in South Africa, with total attention to detail and some of the most courteous and best trained staff ever! The welcome creates a high expectation and it just seems to keep on getting better and better. The rooms are wonderful and offer privacy with your own pool, viewing chairs, and an outside... More

We spent 3 nights, 4 days at the Earth Lodge. From the moment we arrived at the Federal Airstrip and were picked up from the staff, we felt spoiled and that was a theme for this trip. It was one of the most amazing experiences my husband and I have ever had. The staff was wonderful... The safari was amazing...Kenny... More
