Elephant Point estate( where Ubunthu Lodge is located) is situated in a region renowned for its natural diversity and concentration of big game, and is undoubtedly one of the best game viewing areas in the Kruger National Park. The estate takes its name from the elephants that can frequently be seen drinking and grazing on the banks of the mighty Sabie River.
However, elephant is not the only magnificent creature you will encounter. Herds of buffalo, prides of lion, leopards and numerous antelope species make their home in the surrounding area. Elephant Point borders the Kruger National Park and is also neighbour to the world famous and exclusive Sabie Sand Game Reserve, home of Mala Mala, Sabie Sabie, Londolozi, Singita, Ulusaba and others.
Designed by premier wildlife lodge architects, Nick Plewman A+A, Ubuntu Lodge eschews traditional lodge design aesthetics in favour of a contemporary Afro-chic experience.
The lodge is characterised by an abundance of beautiful spaces in which to congregate in fraternity or, perhaps, retreat in solitude. Both indoor and outdoor, whether fine or inclement, there is a space that will inspire. The options for dining or lounging, entertaining or relaxing are myriad.
Floor-to-ceiling, steel windows and doors flood the voluminous interiors with light, while those same doors open expansively, welcoming cooling breezes to naturally moderate the internal temperature. Four luxury master suites, with elegant bathrooms, provide superior accommodation for all guests, while in-ceiling speakers throughout provide personal or whole lodge sound, all via simple Airplay2 functionality. Ubuntu Lodge is the perfect sanctuary from which to absorb the sights and sounds of the African bush and the unique experiences the area has to offer.
Ubunthu Lodge is situated on the banks of the magnificent Sabi River, providing spectacular views over the river and into the Kruger National Park
Sabi River also called Save River, river of south eastern Africa, flowing through Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The river rises as the Sabi about 50 miles (80 km) south of Harare (formerly Salisbury) and flows southeast from the Zimbabwean highveld to its confluence with the Odzi.
The main river, the Sabie, is 230 km long, and is itself a major tributary of the Incomati system, which discharges into the Indian Ocean in Mozambique.
