Reviews for Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

Experience of a lifetime

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

What an experience! From the moment we arrived and was met by our guide to the time of our departure we couldn't have asked for more. Our guide and tracker were exceptional. Not only in spotting the game, but explaining everything about them. And yes we saw the big five. The service staff were also great as was the food. And the coffee breaks on the morning game drive and the gin and tonic breaks on th afternoon game drive were a nice touch, Our grandchildren were on the trip and they were treated like royalty. Our guide joined us for dinner each night which let us get to know him better, He felt like family by the end of the trip. And the accommodations were exceptional. All in all, a wonderful experience.

My Magical Escape into Nature at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

A Truly Unforgettable Experience at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge I had the absolute privilege of staying at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge, and it exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who made me feel at home instantly. The attention to detail throughout the lodge is incredible – elegant, yet still very connected to the surrounding nature. The game drives were out of this world. Our ranger and tracker were both extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five within the first two days. Every drive was a new adventure, and I always felt safe and well taken care of. Back at the lodge, the food was consistently outstanding – fresh, beautifully presented, and full of local flavor. My suite was spacious, comfortable, and offered amazing views of the bush – I even saw elephants walking past my veranda! What really made the difference was the people. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay special. Their warmth and professionalism made me feel more like a guest in someone’s home than at a hotel. Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is not just a place to stay – it’s a place to connect with nature, with others, and with yourself. I can’t wait to return.

Wow few days in the nature

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

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.

Just absolutely fantastic

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

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.

Amazing experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

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 !

The staff at all the lodges were really welcoming and accommodating and made us feel right at home. As for the game viewing, we could not complain as we had so many memorable experiences to choose from. We will be back for more.

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. It was unforgettable - from the day we arrived until the minute we left. A special thank you to our ranger and tracker for allowing us the opportunity to see the Big Five twice!
