7 Star Lodges' premier destination, Oase is located in a private nature reserve just 10km from the town of Hoedspruit, known as the safari capital of South Africa. Literally on the doorstep of some of the most renowned private game reserves in Southern Africa, it is both the perfect precursor to a traditional Big Five safari and the ideal way to conclude one with a few days of rest and relaxation.

Its name is derived from the word oasis, which is fitting because Oase is a haven of peace and tranquility in the heart of the African bush.
