The Ansellia Spa is not just an add-on experience. It's a dedicated wellness offering in the Sabi Sand, where the gentle gurgling of the tranquil private pool welcomes you while pampering hands melt into your skin. Luxury starts and ends here.

03 / Silvan Wildlife

Sabi Sand Game Reserve offers an unparalleled wildlife experience. Marvel at the Big 5, namely the lion, leopard, African buffalo, elephant, and rhino. Most notably, the elusive leopard is unusually prevalent, with sightings almost guaranteed.
