Djuma gained its Fair Trade status for a variety of reasons, but chief among them has to be its extraordinary support for local education. The Lodge’s owner, Jurie Moolman, has capitalized on his relationship with the local Shangaan-speaking communities - a relationship that began during apartheid, when Moolman was a political activist and the communities provided him with safe harbor - to begin a series of school-building projects that has grown from strength to strength.

Being right next door to the Kruger Park - the two reserves share a border, but not a fence, so the animals pass between them without hindrance - a stay at Sabi Sabi guarantees plenty to see, in terms of the Big Five. Not to mention plenty to eat and drink: the camp’s bush feasts are much-celebrated by those who’ve sampled from them; and all beverages during your stay are on the house (except French Champagne).
