Gold price level

Mango Opinion

Earth Lodge is a very stylish luxury safari lodge, with a fun modern design, maybe a bit more modern than is ideal for some. We love it! The game viewing is stellar and this is a great lodge-style safari option.

Earth Lodge is a sanctuary symbolizing a new era in luxury South African safari lodges. Sculpted into a slope of the earth, almost invisible in the landscape, the lodge uses texture, light and space to present a lodge like no other. Taking its cue from the surrounding environment, it has been described as the most environmentally sensitive lodge in Africa.

The unexpected entrance opens to a panorama of uninterrupted bushveld. As in nature everything at Earth Lodge exists in harmony and you are immediately aware of a sense of calm and a restoring spirit. Home to 13 ultra-luxurious suites including the Amber Presidential Suite, the lodge breaks with traditional bush lodge style to create a masterpiece of artistry and innovation. Each of the suites at this luxury lodge features individually designed furniture, private plunge pool, en-suite glass fronted bathroom and indoor and outdoor shower.

An indoor/outdoor dining area, secluded library, art gallery, meditation garden; and wine cellar – everything at this luxury lodge has been created for your indulgence. Escape to the Amani Spa at Earth Lodge and indulge in holistic body, skin and beauty rituals, treatments and massages or have workout in the gym. Each morning and evening you will depart from this luxury safari lodge into the wilderness, either by open safari vehicle or on foot for a walking safari, accompanied by your Ranger and Shangaan Tracker. Close enough to share in a thrilling encounter with Africa’s beautiful wild creatures.
