Luxury Safari Lodge South Africa
A luxury safari lodge in South Africa should offer more than beautiful rooms and scheduled game drives.
At Oase by 7 Star Lodges, we believe a truly exceptional safari is one that feels personal. It should move at your pace, reflect your interests, and give you the freedom to experience Africa in a way that feels natural rather than scripted.
Set on a private reserve in the Greater Kruger region near Hoedspruit, Oase is designed for guests seeking privacy, space, exceptional service, and a deeper connection to Africa. Here, luxury is not only found in the design of your suite, the quality of the food, or the comfort of your surroundings — it is found in the way your entire stay is shaped around you.
Luxury safari, reimagined
Many safari lodges in South Africa still follow a familiar pattern: early wake-up calls, fixed mealtimes, set game drive departures, and a stay that feels largely the same from one guest to the next.
Oase was created to offer something more considered.
With just a small number of luxury guest suites, a highly personalized level of hospitality, and a philosophy built around flexibility, Oase offers a luxury safari experience that feels far more relaxed, exclusive, and individual. Whether you want to spend your day tracking wildlife, enjoying a slow breakfast at our Tea Garden, unwinding beside your private pool, dining under the stars, or combining all of it in your own rhythm, your stay is built around what feels right for you.
A private safari lodge in South Africa’s Greater Kruger
Oase is located on a private reserve near Hoedspruit in the Greater Kruger area of South Africa — one of the country’s most sought-after safari destinations.
This location allows guests to enjoy both the tranquility of a private wilderness setting and access to extraordinary wildlife experiences. It is a place of riverfront beauty, open bushveld, dramatic light, and immersive natural surroundings. The setting feels secluded and peaceful, yet remains well connected for travelers arriving through Johannesburg or via South Africa’s other major international gateways.
Why choose Oase for a luxury safari in South Africa
A more thoughtful kind of luxury
Oase is built around an off-grid philosophy, with sustainability considered as part of the guest experience rather than treated as an afterthought. It is luxury that feels grounded, intentional, and connected to place.
What your stay can feel like
Wake naturally to soft morning light and the sounds of the bush.
Take breakfast slowly, with no sense of being rushed into someone else’s schedule.
Head out for wildlife experiences when it suits the day best. Return for lunch, a swim, a massage, or simply an afternoon of stillness in your suite.
As evening arrives, gather for sundowners, dinner under the stars, or fireside conversation before the sounds of the African night take over.
This is the difference between simply going on safari and truly settling into the experience of Africa. That difference is what defines Oase.
