SABI SABI
LITTLE BUSH CAMP -
SABI SAND GAME RESERVE
Hidden on the banks of the
Msuthu River lies the newest addition to Sabi Sabi
Private Game Reserve's family of 5-Star lodges,
Little Bush Camp.
Sabi Sabi Private
Game Reserve acquired Londolozi’s Safari
Lodge on 01-March 2006 and has renamed the property “Little
Bush Camp”. Little Bush Camp
will complement Sabi Sabi’s existing Bush
Lodge, which has a similar historical African ambience
and warm, homely atmosphere. Commenting on the
move, Sabi Sabi managing director, Patrick Shorten,
said : “Given the proximity of Little Bush
Camp to our existing lodges, it is an ideal transaction,
and the additional land will enhance our extensive
traversing area. We are very excited to add this
beautiful little gem to our existing successful
portfolio of Earth Lodge, Selati Camp and Bush
Lodge”.
Little Bush
Camp is situated in the shade of indigenous riverine
trees on a dry riverbed and has an intimate,
rustic feel that blends with the 5-Star accommodation
and absolute luxury. The lodge features air-conditioned
double suites, en-suite bathrooms, indoor and
outdoor showers and private viewing decks. Thatched
roofs, draped mosquito nets and wooden and stone
finishes complete the picture and make for the
perfect private escape for families and small
corporate incentives. The habitat has been well
managed over the past 20 years and features open
areas of bush that make for excellent cheetah
and white Rhino sightings as well as being ideal
for viewing plains game such as zebra and wildebeest.
The warmth
and vibrancy of Bush
Lodge, combined with more
intimacy and seclusion makes this an ideal bush
retreat for friends, families or small groups.

Activities
Southern
Africa intrigues everyone who is lucky enough to
experience its power and magic. The concept of 'Safari'
conjures up images of adventure, thrilling landscapes
and absorbing wildlife. Sabi Sabi Game Lodges are
located in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve which is adjacent
to the Kruger Park. Safaris in this part of South
Africa are extraordinarily rewarding as all of the
fences between the Kruger National Park and its surrounding
reserves have been removed. Whilst staying at Sabi
Sabi you will experience the ultimate in luxury safaris.
Animals on
the Reserve have not been hunted for over half
a century; resulting in them becoming habituated
to - and therefore not threatened by - safari vehicles.
Visitors can therefore look forward to luxury safaris
which offer the unique experience of being close
encounters with animals as they continue unperturbed
in their natural patterns of hunting, feeding, mating
and suckling.
The reserve
is blessed with a great biodiversity of habitat
and wildlife giving an excellent chance of close
encounters with the 'Big 5' - elephant, rhino,
buffalo, lion and leopard - as well as wild dog
and cheetah. With over 300 bird species, the
reserve is a birdwatcher's delight.
Safaris take
place each morning and evening in open Land Rovers
which drive through a wide variety of habitats, allowing
you to view the vast interactions of the wild. After
breakfast, guests on guided walking trails can experience
the natural environment on foot. The dedicated, skilled
and passionate Rangers lead you to discover miracles
of Nature you may never have dreamed existed.
Wildlife
The Sabi Sand Game Reserve
is a mostly flat landscape of undulating crests
with some rocky outcrops, bisected
by the Sand River.
The characteristic species of
the Sabi Sand are impala, greater kudu, giraffe,
buffalo, lion and leopard. Lions are the only truly
social members of the cat family, and sightings of
lion prides are the order of the day.
Open water channels and pools are favoured by hippo.
Reedbeds are favoured by buffalo and elephant. Riverine
forest along the river is green all year round, and
is the haunt of leopard, greater bush baby (galago)
and bushbuck.
The dainty-hoofed klipspringer and rock dassie (hyrax)
are the only larger mammals restricted to rocky outcrops
in the Sabi Sand. Chacma baboons use the outcrops
as vantage points.
Bird diversity is high, with over 40 species of
raptor including Hooded Vulture, Secretary Bird,
African Fish Eagle,Bateleur, Brown Snake Eagle, Dark
Chanting Goshawk and Giant Eagle Owl. Cuckoos, Rollers,
Kingfishers, Hornbills, Shrikes, Starlings and Weavers
are well represented. Some common birds along the
Sand River are the Paradise Flycatcher, Heuglin's
Robin, Collared Sunbird and Green Pigeon.
Open water channels and pools are favoured by Pied
Kingfisher and African Black Duck. Reedbeds are populated
by Burchell's Coucal, Redfaced Cisticola and various
Weavers. Some common savannah birds are the Green
Spotted Dove (formerly called the Emerald Spotted
Wood Dove), Woodland Kingfisher, Blue Waxbill, White
Helmetshrike, Lizard Buzzard, Yellow-billed Hornbill
