Set within one of Southern Africa’s most revered wilderness landscapes, a quiet riverfront retreat is gently taking shape on the edge of the Kruger.

Along the banks of the iconic Sabie River, the River Suites unfold within the Elephant Point Private Reserve, where free-roaming wildlife corridors begin at the edge of the Kruger National Park. Here, nature moves freely and unfiltered.

From the privacy of your Suite, time softens. Pause. Be still. Watch from a safe distance as an ever-changing tapestry of wildlife and birdlife drift along the riverbanks and through the reserve.

Between river and reserve, the days are shaped by light, movement, and the quiet presence of the wild.

Luxury Safari, differently

This secluded sanctuary comprises just 42 River Suites, thoughtfully positioned to face either the flowing river or a quiet waterhole.

Designed to respect the natural movement of the land, a discreet underground passageway allow guests to move through the reserve while wildlife roams freely above, uninterrupted.

Contemporary design meets raw wilderness in effortless balance. Each Suite offers a calm space, refined luxury amenities, and a private splash pool, creating moments of complete seclusion and calm.

Experiences are deeply personal including customised itineraries built to your own pace, and evenings centred around fine dining experiences.

The Difference

Limited-key Luxury

A limited collection of luxury suites and villas, thoughtfully positioned to ensure space, discretion, and uninterrupted immersion in the natural surroundings. Ideal for couples, families and executives looking for privacy, exclusivity, space and independence.

Uninterrupted Wilderness Access

Open wildlife corridors and waterholes allow game to roam freely across the landscape, offering our guests exclusive private viewings, while silent electric golf carts will transport guests effortlessly and peacefully between spaces, and through safe passages and a tunnel with minimal disturbance to wildlife and birdlife.

Exceptional Access

Ideally positioned near the gateway to the Kruger National Park, while remaining removed from the pace and presence of the outside world. 6km of Sabie river forms a natural boundary, drawing wildlife to its banks and creating extraordinary, unscripted moments, often enjoyed from the privacy of one’s River Suite or Safari Villa.

The Art of Place

Architecture and interiors designed in quiet conversation with the environment. Natural materials, refined detailing and restrained design create spaces that feel timeless and grounded. Bespoke art anchors the space in meaning, and expresses the reserve’s spirit through powerful, contemporary African voices that create an emotional connection to place. Rare and exclusive art pieces have been commissioned by leading South African artists to transform spaces into powerful portraits that echo the land outside

Fine Dining, Refined

An elevated culinary experience rooted in seasonality and place. Thoughtfully curated menus celebrate local produce and contemporary technique, offering refined dining moments that unfold slowly. An elegant open-air and indoor dining space with panoramic views over the Sabie River creates the ideal backdrop for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with nature as your guest.

Wellness in its Purest Form

Wellness at Elephant Point is intuitive, elemental and deeply personal. Spa therapies, yoga in the wild and spaces that offer mindful pauses offer a restorative approach to wellbeing inspired by the rhythms of nature. A tranquil lap pool overlooking a wildlife-rich waterhole, and deeply restorative therapies at the Elephant Point Spa are among the curated wellness experiences available to guests. Each element is thoughtfully designed to encourage relaxation, renewal and a deeper connection to the surrounding wilderness.
