About The Inyati Game Lodge

The Inyati Game Lodge can be found on the western side of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, which shares an unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park. However, unlike Kruger, the reserve is not open to the general public. The only people with access to the Sabi Sands are guests at a few of the reserve lodges, such the Inyati Game Lodge.

Committed to sustainable tourism, most of Inyati’s 45 permanent staff are from the local community. Many of the staff have been with Inyati for more than 10 years making Inyati their home and creating the family atmosphere that the lodge is known for. The reserve created a staff share scheme in 2013. And this means that each member of staff participates in the success of the lodge by providing you with a memorable experience of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve.
