Unique properties with unique stories
Inspired by the desire to share nature’s majestic beauty and her life lessons with others, the Sabi Sabi Collection is a family-owned portfolio of distinct destinations that offer immersive and authentic experiences. Each location has been carefully selected to both complement and contrast one another.
Our journey of exploration and growth
Where it all began
In 1979, the Loon family established Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve with a vision to sustainably balance conservation, eco-tourism and community wellbeing. The success of this pioneering approach has inspired the acquisition of additional properties and became the blueprint for the ethos of stewardship and refined hospitality that defines the Sabi Sabi Collection today.

Our approach to the land and her people
Creating a sanctuary for wildlife and guests
We actively create a protected haven where wildlife thrives undisturbed and allowing guests to experience a deep connection to the natural world.

Explore the properties in our Collection
Each property within the Collection is shaped by its own setting, story and sense of provenance. From the wildlife-rich plains of the greater Kruger area to the quiet charm of Cape Town's southern suburbs, each of our distinctive destinations has something unique to offer the discerning guest.
