Sunrise at the Earth Lodge Sabi Sabi Game Reserve. Game drives start bright and early with coffee and danishes at 5:00 a.m. Departures at 5:30 a.m. The tree seen silhouetted is The Marula Tree and has a history as a source of nutrition dating back to 10,000 years B.C. and it is certainly one of Africa's botanical treasures. The multiple uses of the tree, it's bark, leaves, fruit, nut and kernels are legendary. My favorite is when the fruit ripens and drops to the ground and lightly ferments ... the elephants, giraffes, warthogs, and other animals get wasted and the party gets started safari style ! http://youtu.be/D5E5TjkDvU0 The fruits are a good food source and high in vitamin C. The skin can be boiled to make a drink or burnt to be used as a substitute for coffee. The wood is soft for carving The inner bark can be used to make rope and for making dye They produce small tasty nuts which are rich in protein. The Oil is used as a skin cosmetic. Their green leaves are eaten to relieve heartburn. The bark contains antihistamines The fruit can also be cooked to produce jam, juices and alcoholic beverages like "Amarula" a delicious South African Cream Liqueur that substrates just fine for coffee creamer any time of the day as far as I'm concerned. It also is used to brew a very tasty, potent South African moonshine known locally as "Mampoer" after a local Chief who favored it. It is said to make grown men weep. the Venda people of Southern Africa maintain that bark infusions can be used to determine the gender of an unborn child. If a woman wants a son the male tree is used, and for a daughter, the female tree. If the child of the opposite gender is born, the child is said to be very special as it was able to defy the spirits. Oh, and did I mention it sacred. #treetrove #goldenhour

Every detail from checking in to checking out was amazing. The rooms and service was impeccable and the views were amazing. The game drives were fun and insightful. And the food was extremely good with a revolving lunch/dinner menu every day. Best hotel I've been to.

Best stay ever! True "Out of Africa"experience.
This was far the most exciting and the most anxiously anticipated stay by our family ever. We were worried that we dared (way to adventurously) to stay at the private accommodations in the middle of bushes/savannah in S. Africa (near Kruger Park). This was something very exotic and a bit scary to ...

Listed as one of the most dangerous golf courses in the world. This challenging course, in the heart of Kruger National Park, has no fences. Crocs and hippos in the lakes, warthogs on the greens, it has it all! #lifeatexpedia #safari #golf #southafrica
