The lodge is the safari.

Sabi Sabi sits in the Sabi Sand, sharing an unfenced border with Kruger — the same animals roam both sides. What changes is the rules.

Here, our ranger and tracker can drive off-road to follow a leopard into the bush, run night drives after dark, and keep a sighting to two or three vehicles. In Kruger you stay on the roads, the park closes at sunset, and a lion kill can draw 30–50 cars.

So the lodge price isn't buying the room. It's buying the access, the tracker, and the time with the animal — and the safety of never navigating big-cat country on your own.

Momma's milk, right out in the open.

This one is nursing while Momma stands guard — and we got to watch it up close, from the vehicle. That's the thing about Sabi Sand: the animals here are so used to the vehicles that moments like this just happen. No chasing, no crowding. She knows we're there, and she's completely calm about it.

The surprise? Our ranger estimates this 'calf' is about 2 years old — and still nursing. She stays close to Momma, and Momma lets her. Out here, with a ranger and tracker reading her every move, we get to witness it safely.

Eric Deuker and I are loving our time in South Africa!

Dinner at Phinda Lodge was a BOMA — A traditional outdoor safari feast held inside a protective wooden or reed enclosure around a central campfire. BOMA stands for British Officers Mess Area, where officers and leaders of the British military would meet and strategize for the next day — a tradition that evolved alongside British colonial outposts and military messes in Southern and East Africa.

The menu: brown lentil soup, grilled chicken flatties, ostrich, oxtail potjie, venison wors, pap & sheba, Durban vegetable curry, corn with garlic butter… and chocolate cremaux and a cheese board to finish. It was all delicious.

This is the part of safari nobody warns you about — the food is this good, every night, in the middle of the bush. Good food, good company, stories around the fire.
