Claiming over 100 years of safari experience, Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve recalls Africa's golden era. Tucked into 65,000 hectares in Kruger National Park in northeast South Africa, it offers thrilling encounters with the continent's most spectacular wildlife. Expect to see more than just the Big Five here - elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo are only the beginning. When you finished exploring the bush in an open-air Land Rover with your Shangaan tracker, you will be treated to luxurious African living at the Selati Camp, Bush Lodge, Little Bush Camp or Earth Lodge.

There is Africa, and then there is Sabi Sabi bush lodge. What an amazing place with outstanding service and product. We have spend 2 nights which is almost enough ( 3 nights can be ideal) Combination of game drive, good, relaxing and nature - amazing. We were very lucky to have Warren as our ranger and Trever assisting him as a trucker. Such amazing knowledge and attention to details… unique. If we could give more then 5 stars we would have done it. We are looking forward our next visit.

It is difficult to put into words how excellent Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is- from the minute you arrive to the moment you leave. The place itself is fantastic- exquisitely decorated and maintained- and so are the staff (I think they may actually read minds 😊). Food, service, accommodations, transfers etc etc. All great. We stayed at the Mandleve Villa- absolutely wonderful. Our girls (who are not always that interested in “kids clubs”) really loved spending time at the Elefun Center. Of course, the most important aspect are the safaris. I´m sure all guides and trackers are fantastic- we were lucky to be guided by Warren and Nhlanhla. Apart from being genuinely passionate about what they do (and everything that we say), they took time to explain and tell us (including our young girls) about the bush, ecosystem, conservation aspects, tracks, plants etc. All the while, just extremely respectful of the animals (e.g.- coordinating the viewings and approaches so as not to overwhelm them). Warren´s knowledge and humor, Nhlanhla´s tracking (and gin tonics 😊) made for a very exclusive experience. All-in-all, Sabi was just a fantastic experience. Amazing place, amazing hospitality and, above all, great game viewing. They clearly are genuinely concerned and heavily involved in the ecological and conservation aspect, and you are left with a feeling that they are having an overall positive impact (which hasn´t always been my experience in other places). We were sad to leave but elated at what we had experienced. Sabi will always have a place in our hearts.

The experience at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge was amazing since the momente we have arrived. Myself, my wife and my 7 yr old daughter had a wonderful time within the lodge and mainly during the Safaris. We had the opportunity to had 6 safaris during the 3 day period we did stay there and it was amazing. Lot of respect with the animals and we felt blessed and comfortable all the time. No worries and just enjoying the amazing opportunity to be there, since breakfast till sunset drinks during Safari. Thanks to Warren Deyzel, the best Ranger we could have had during the time we were there !

Our stay was flawless, from the moment we arrived at the airport to our departure. The hotel is amazing, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional team. We received outstanding service from beginning to end. The hospitality is top-notch, with a special recognition to Xaluva for her incredible attention during our meals—she was always kind and attentive. The villa we stayed in exceeded our expectations: beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable and clean, and very spacious. The daytime game drive were undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. The attention we received from our Ranger, Warren, and our Tracker, Tshepo, was extraordinary. They showed great patience with the countless questions from our children, fulfilled all our requests with care, and shared fascinating knowledge about wildlife. We will be back…..

We stayed 4 days for holiday with our family. It was a phenomenal trip. Warren(guide) and Trevor(tracker) were great and we loved every outing with them. The food was awesome and all the workers are extremely hospitable. We saw all of the big 5 during our outings.

To visit Sabi Sabi's Earth Lodge is a chance of a lifetime to participate in the very best of a world class bush experience. Thanks to the diligence & commitment of our ranger/tracker team, the game viewing was spectacular. Add to this the experience of staying in a luxury lodge with large comfortable suites, fine cuisine, excellent facilities and a level of camaraderie not often found in such surroundings and you truly have the best in the world. This all made for yet another truly memorable visit, never to be forgotten!

A very big thank you to the management and all staff at Sabi Sabi Busgh Lodge for the warm hospitality that we received during our stay.
