New Luxurious, Sustainable Ecoresorts to Book - AFAR

"An opulent safari lodge within the Sabi Sands Game Preserve, this collection of modern private “Plains Houses” overlooks a shaded watering hole where elephants, zebras, hippos, buffalo, antelopes and leopards regularly gather. Each four-bedroom villa includes a private pool and dedicated chef and is designed in an ‘Afro-minimalist’ style using raw stone and sustainably sourced wood; the estate is entirely solar powered and recycles wastewater for irrigation. The lodge operates a pioneering fleet of electric safari vehicles—custom Land Cruisers fitted with Tesla batteries—to allow quieter, closer wildlife encounters, and it supports regional conservation and antipoaching efforts plus community projects such as drilling a communal water borehole and building an early-education nursery school." - Sarah Gold
