Did you know that the iconic G&T is an integral part of safari culture? It’s all thanks to the antimalarial properties attributed to the quinine contained in tonic water. Silvan Safari pays homage to this proud tradition, with an impressive selection of the best gins from around the world, combined with the best botanicals, ready to be enjoyed by the pool or under the stars.

At Silvan Safari restaurant, Chef Charlton Mthetwa makes the most of local produce to create refined dishes that are carefully paired with wines. Flavors and colors combine on the plate, with meals enjoyed in the Modjaji dining room or outside on the terrace, open to nature and lit by the starry sky.

Deep within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa, Ansellia Spa is nestled on the edge of the savannah. Let yourself be enchanted by the panoramic views over the vast plains from the swimming pool, while inside, a private treatment room and a fitness area invite you to extend this extraordinary experience. Named after an African orchid, this sanctuary of wellness integrates local cultural rituals and natural ingredients to honor the essence of this wild land.

Ansellia Spa

Sabi Sand, one of the largest private reserves in South Africa, is the evocative setting for Silvan Safari Lodge. This 160,000-acre estate, bordering the famous Kruger National Park, immerses guests in the heart of nature. This is the domain of the famous ‘Big Five’–and leopards in particular, which can be observed on almost every outing in the wilderness. The suites of Silvan Safari stand out from the classic lodges of the region by their unique wooden architecture and elegant, bohemian décor. They open onto a large terrace with a swimming pool which seems to plunge into the bush and riverbed beyond. The lodge fosters a deep connection with its environment, playing a crucial part in conserving its unspoiled surroundings. Silvan Safari Lodge employs around fifty residents from the local community, each dedicated to ensuring an unforgettable guest experience. Stays include twice-daily safaris, guided by expert rangers, showcasing the rich diversity of bird and animal life across the savannah. Additionally, the lodge offers a photographic studio where guests can bring their travel memories to life and the opportunity to sample an exceptional selection of gin before enjoying gourmet dinners under starry skies.
