Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

I just returned from my 5 days, 4 nights stay at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. Everything was top notch from welcome to departure. My accommodation was spacious, immaculate, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. The air conditioning prevailed even when the outside temperatures were 40+. Meals were tastefully prepared, especially so at dinner. I appreciated the presentations of dinner menus by the chefs. My interest in Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge focused on animal viewing and photography. I had wonderful experiences on each drive (mornings and afternoons). Good game drives are truly unpredictable, one really doesn't/shouldn't know what to expect. My highlights (sorry, no promises for future drives) included a pride of lions confronting a pair of rhinos and a cheetah protecting her 3 cubs from a menacing hyena. Also memorable were observing a pack of wild dogs, very close observation of a rhino with her calf at sunset, and leopards at sundown at a watering hole. These sightings were facilitated by guide Warren, a highly competent, knowledgeable, and experienced guide who did his best to provide opportunities for closeup viewings (safari vehicles are not restricted to tar roads at Sabi Sabi, so we frequently followed animals into the bush). Warren also shared a few of his photo strategies which proved quite helpful. I was thoroughly pleased with my stay at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. I felt I received quality service, excellent accommodations, and memorable experiences.

Trip ... one of a kind experience! We had an incredible experience seeing the big 5 on our trip. The lodge is modern, luxurious and next leval. We were treated like a King and a Queen. The rooms are beyoned 5 star. The treats and get together before our game drives were a special touch to meet our ranger and tracker. We experienced a wow sundowner in the middle of the bush. This is a must for anyones bucket list. We will diffently go back for another visit.

Thank you Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge for the most amazing 5 Star Safari experience celebrating our joint Ruby Wedding anniversaries with our friends.. Having never been on a Safari before we had an idea of what to expect but nothing could have prepared us for the adventure we had just experienced. Firstly the Lodge is 5 star outstanding. True African styling with Luxury Suites to match, with every amenity and beautifully furnished. The beds were huge and sumptuous, the bathroom massive with an indoor and outdoor shower and bath tub and an amazing lounge area with outdoor patio overlooking the waterhole. With 2 game drives every day we were fortunate enough to have our amazing ranger Queen and tracker Anton who were both so knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions of which we had many. We asked them both to join us for dinner each night and we’re so glad we did as it gave us an opportunity to find out a little about their lives and culture. We all got on so well and feel,that we really made two new good friends. Huge thanks to Sindy who looked after our rooms perfectly and to Lilly who was always waiting for us at meal times and was so attentive, The dining in the evening under the stars with the chef introducing the various offerings from the food stations was something we have never experienced. The food was of exceptional quality as was the variety and the whole experience was very special. We cannot fault this Lodge in any aspect and we now have truly wonderful memories that will live with us forever. Thank you once again to each and everyone of the staff. You are all a credit to Bush Lodge and thank you Conrad in the way you manage and set the standards and ethos your lodge promotes. Great teams come from excellent leadership and you do just that. We will certainly be recommending Bush Lodge to all are family and friends and hope to return again some day. Tim and Ali x Tim and Alison Padday

It was great to stay at Sabie bush river. It has a great location close to the Kurger park and next to the river where you can potentially spot Elephants. It has friendly staff, the huts and beds are good and everything is clean. Also there was nice breakfast and diner included. The staff also helped with returning my lost e-reader which was very much appreciated. They do their best to make your stay (and before and after) the best. Thank you team!

This resort has large individual lodges as rooms, which were beautifully decorated and immaculately cleaned every day, with an additional turn down service nightly. Included are the snacks and room refrigerator stocked with water, soft drinks, beers and wine. The bathrooms are huge and have a large soaking tub and glass shower both in the bath and outside on the private patio. It’s a bit strange with no shades or window coverings in the bath, but the area is quite private. The meals are terrific, with many, many varieties to choose from at each meal. There are a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables at every meal. Dinner always includes choices of game meats, chicken, beef or lamb, and vegetarian options. You have 1 waiter assigned to you for your entire stay, and that person (thanks Moses) is great at remembering your preferences and helping out in any way. There are 2 , 3 hour game drives daily, early morning and late afternoon/early evening. Try to go on every drive, as they are amazing. We were assigned one driver/guide and a tracker for the entire stay (shout out to Queen & Albert). They are fun and are super knowledgeable about all the animals, large and small. Morning drives include a short coffee/tea stop and afternoon drives include “sundowner” drinks and snacks out in the bush. We had a great stay, highly recommend.
