Sarili Private Villa

Set on the tranquil banks of the Bushman’s River in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, Sarili Private Villa is an exclusive six-bedroom retreat offering families and groups the chance to experience Big Five safari in complete privacy.

Designed with a contemporary African aesthetic, the villa combines elegant interiors, rich textures and natural materials with sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness. Every room has views towards the river and easy access to the bush, creating a strong connection with the landscape while providing plenty of comfort and space.

The villa’s six bedrooms are thoughtfully configured for families and groups, with river-view suites and rooms spread across the ground and first floors. Two ground-floor rooms are interleading, with one wheelchair-friendly, while two first-floor rooms are also interleading, making the property particularly versatile for different group configurations.

Days can be spent exploring the surrounding reserve in search of Africa’s iconic Big Five, before returning to the villa to relax in complete seclusion. The riverside setting provides a peaceful backdrop for unwinding between game drives, while the spacious private accommodation allows everyone to enjoy the safari at their own pace.

With its combination of exclusive-use accommodation, contemporary African design and a spectacular riverside setting, Sarili Private Villa is an ideal choice for families or groups looking for a luxurious and highly private Eastern Cape safari experience.
