Exeter is situated within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, renowned for having the best Big Five game-viewing in South Africa, if not the world. Located on the south-western corner of the Kruger National Park, there are no restricting fences, thus enabling the animals to roam freely just as nature intended.

The Reserve is famous for its incredible leopard sightings. The Sabi Sand leopards have grown accustomed to safari vehicles, thereby permitting close up sightings and extraordinary photographic opportunities.

Game drives at Exeter are made memorable not only by frequent sightings of Africa’s Big Five, but also because this exclusive western property of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve borders the Kruger National Park. Its habitats are home to an extraordinary range of wildlife and bird species.

• Big Five
• Best Leopard viewing in Africa
• Superlative lion viewing
• Excellent bird watching
• Spotted hyena's
• Scenic Sand River
• Interpretive game drives led by expert rangers

Exeter Private Game Reserve features the elegant Leadwood Lodge, unique River Lodge and Dulini Safari Lodge, each offering elegant accommodation and style in the African bush.

LEADWOOD LODGE
A private safari lodge situated in the western part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, nestled against a well wooded bank of the Sand River, where jackalberry and leadwood trees lend their shade. Its four suites distanced from one another to offer solitude and serenity.

• 4 spacious air-conditioned suites
• Dramatic views of the Sand river
• Private plunge pools
• En suite bathrooms
• Perfect for family gatherings and special occasion safaris

Leadwood Lodge boasts a tactile blend of boldly expressed and contrasted materials – crushed stone, raw cement, dark meranti, rough granite and glass. Soft furnishings provide an inviting counter point to the textures and patinas of the structure. Each suite has a fireplace, sitting room and private pool, surrounded by a wooden deck and granite wall. Spacious en suite bathrooms pamper and delight guests


RIVER LODGE
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve’s western sector, River Lodge sits in the shade of a grove of ebony trees right on the edge of the Sand River. Eight luxury suites spread out along the shady bank with dramatic close up views of the River, all with generous spaces and elegant bathrooms. Cool off in the private plunge pool, while enjoying the sight of a herd of elephant drinking or perhaps a hippo surfacing in the river below.

• 8 air-conditioned suites
• Romantic African bush dinners
• Private plunge pools
• Outdoor showers

Magnificently positioned guest sitting and dining areas overlook the Sand River. A giant sausage tree provides shade for long, lazy afternoon lunches. Delicious Pan African meals, complimented by the finest South Africa wines, are shared in the open air boma around a blazing fire under a star strewn sky. Romantic candlelit dinners in the African bush, or on the deck of the guest suites, offer more memorable dining experiences.


DULINI SAFARI LODGE
Six spacious stone cottages grace the banks of the Mabrak River in the western corner of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. As one of only 12 guests, one feels instantly at home in this quiet retreat. The beautifully appointed suites boast generous plunge pools, shady decks and classic interiors that celebrate the signature style of the Reserve. From the privacy of their own plunge pools, guests enjoy watching game explore the dry riverbed just a few metres away.

• 6 spacious stone cottages
• Private Plunge Pools
• Delicious Pan-African cuisine
• Wine Cellar

The guest area is an elegant space filled with big welcoming sofas and interesting African sculptures. Dine under the ancient jackalberry tree where skilled chef’s serve delicious Pan African meals, or steal away for a romantic candlelit dinner in the well-stocked wine cellar.
