Silvan Safari is a bold new chapter in luxury safari travel, proudly positioned in the northern sector of the world-renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjacent to South Africa’s iconic Kruger National Park. From its inception, Silvan has reimagined what a safari can be—where sophisticated design, environmental harmony, and immersive wilderness experiences unite to create one of Africa’s most exclusive retreats.
Set beneath the canopy of a magnificent leadwood forest, Silvan Safari is more than a lodge—it’s a sensory journey through modern African elegance. The architecture is striking and contemporary, designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding landscape while offering supreme comfort and style. The lodge’s location is a haven for wildlife, where the haunting call of a fish eagle or the distant roar of a lion underscores the raw beauty of the bush.
Silvan Safari features just six luxurious suites, including the specially designed Leadwood Family Suite, ensuring exclusivity and personalized service. Each suite is a private sanctuary, boasting expansive interiors, ceiling fans, air conditioning, indoor fireplaces, and elegantly styled bathrooms with both indoor showers and deep soaking bathtubs. Outdoors, guests can unwind in their own private plunge pool while elephants or other wildlife pass gracefully through the surrounding bushveld.
The Leadwood Family Suite is uniquely crafted to accommodate families, featuring two separate en-suite bedrooms connected by a spacious, open-air deck that wraps around the limbs of an ancient leadwood tree, offering panoramic views and exceptional privacy.
Silvan’s guest areas are an ode to contemporary African design. Wooden walkways meander through the treetops, leading to tranquil hideaways and viewing decks ideal for reading, relaxing, or birdwatching. The outdoor lap pool (25 metres long) offers a peaceful space for both leisure and fitness, while the on-site gym and spa provide holistic wellness options.
Dining at Silvan is a culinary celebration. Gourmet meals are curated to highlight local flavours and fresh ingredients, served in unique locations throughout the lodge—from the elevated Jackalberry breakfast deck to the stylish Modjaji indoor dining space. Whether you prefer private dining on your suite’s deck or joining fellow travellers under the stars, meals at Silvan are about freedom, flavour, and connection.
Located in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions, Silvan offers exceptional game viewing opportunities. Professional guides and trackers lead game drives in state-of-the-art vehicles equipped with Swarovski binoculars and warm blankets for early mornings and chilly evenings. You’ll track the Big 5 and many other fascinating species during optimal wildlife activity hours—early morning and late afternoon.
For a deeper connection with the landscape, guided walking safaris offer the chance to explore the bush on foot, uncovering the smaller wonders of the wilderness that are often overlooked on game drives.
Unique among safari lodges, Silvan boasts a cutting-edge photography studio equipped with Apple computers, editing software, and large-format printers. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or a beginner, the studio allows you to refine and print your best wildlife images, creating keepsakes that will last a lifetime.
After thrilling days of safari exploration, unwind in Silvan’s serene spa with a selection of signature treatments, or keep your body active with a workout in the fully equipped fitness centre. The harmonious blend of wellness, nature, and personalized luxury ensures that every moment at Silvan is designed with your rejuvenation in mind.
