Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

It is hard to put into words our wonderful experience. My heart will forever be fuller because of the kind hearted people at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. Yes the property is amazing and seeing animals was more than I ever expected. But the kindness and care of Sam, Gladstone and Foster will never be forgotten. Sam and Gladstone love the land and you could feel it everyday. Foster was so caring and joyful to be around. Overall I am leaving behind family and a culture that will truly be missed. Thank you for teaching us and caring for us. ❤️ Valerie and Robert

Sabi Sabi is a world in its own ! The resort-style accommodation overlooking the watering hole with frequent visitors from the animal kingdom and vast expanse of surrounding land is absolutely mesmerizing. Facilities and service was excellent. And the best part was the amazing team of Jana (our guide/ranger) and Lucky (our tracker) who were simply phenomenal. Jana is very passionate and a subject matter expert who not only took us through some great sightings but took time to explain animal behaviors and the bush ecosystem such that every game drive was an experience to watch and learn. Lucky has a super efficient "eye for sightings" and together they gave us an absolutely memorable experience. Also special mention for Conrad, the lodge manager who was present to greet us daily after game drives and ensured that guest needs are always taken care of. Thank you to the Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge Team for enabling such an amazing time for our family !

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was great from pickup at the airport to departure. We stayed there for four nights which was a perfect amount of time to see the big 5. No complaints about anything. The food, the rooms, and the service is incredible. Our ranger was Candy and our tracker was Jack. They have worked many years at the lodge and did a great job with our kids. The manager Conrad made sure all of our needs were met. We also had an excellent waiter during our stay named Foster. He made sure each of our meals was a great experience.

You read the reviews, saw the pictures on line and probably have an idea of what it's like to stay at a luxury bush lodge and spend your days on safari, at the pool, enjoying the spa and eating delicious food. Well, expect your expectations to be significantly exceeded. The moment we walked into the lodge we were greeted by our first names, every time we returned from safari there was a warm towel for our hands and face, the service is incredible, the food delicious, the bungalow/rooms are luxurious and immaculate. And the safari experience was pretty mind blowing. Our guides, Samke and Gladstone, were wonderful and had the most interesting stories and explanations for everything from the animals and birds to a simple leaf and twig (that Samke actually made into a toothbrush!). Since they were both from a local village we learned so much and enjoyed getting to know them. Every single person that we interacted with at the Lodge was amazing. There is no way to really explain the experience of being there. Go.

We had a tremendous stay and visit at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. The staff are INCREDIBLE. Our ranger, Anthea, and tracker, Tshepo, were very knowledgeable and passionate to teach us throughout our 4 night stay. We not only saw all of the Big 5 but had intimate experiences with each animal with several truly unforgettable moments. We learned SO MUCH on each drive about the ecosystem and highly recommend the Bush Walk. In the lodge, we experience phenomenal care from all staff, especially Foster as he catered to us and patiently taught us more of the local language. We also loved the Community Experience that was lead by our tracker, Tshepo, and great to see the positive impact they are making. Highly highly recommend the experience at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge!

Amazing experience at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. The public spaces and sleeping suites/ rooms were amazing. The proximity and view of the watering hole provided some fabulous close encounters with animals. We had amazing game drives with Jan and Solomon - we hit the big 5 in no time!

From the moment we were greeted by the lodge management couple Conrad & Retha, to the moment we were waved off by our guide & tracker team of Jana & Nhlanhla it was absolute perfection! ||The lodge is elevates with an amazing view over an open grass area & watering hole, frequented by lots of animals. The food was exceptional, especially the boma dinner with the wild kitchen serving zebra & kudu. Our suite was on another level! Beautifully designed & decorated bedroom, bathroom, lounge & study area. 5* luxury at it's very best. The personal touched like hand written welcome notes, complimentary mini bar, turndown service and so much more, were really special. Waterbuck & nyala, are cruising around the camp most of the time as they feel safe there away from predators.||But most of all the trip was taken into another universe by Jana & Nhlanhla on the game drives. I feel almost embarrassed to list everything we saw, but aside from the Big 5, the highlights included a den of hyena pups, rhino mum & calf, a pride on lionesses & cubs, stunning female leopard, ele calves, and most spectacular of all - the 2 male lions within touching distance! Jana's knowledge was mind-boggling! My partner and I ask a lot of questions and Jana knew the answer to every-single-one, accompanied by a story or extra info! Nhlanhla and Jana make a superb team, especially when off-roading! We were in the best viewing position every time! On top of that, Jana was just a lovely human - kind, sincere, and accommodating. The world is her oyster.||We were both quite emotional after a couple of the drives, and of course when we left. It changes your outlook on life so profoundly. The greater Kruger is magical, but the magician is Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. So grateful to everyone there.

I feel truly blessed to have stayed at Sabi Sabi bush lodge. The staff went over and above for my family and I, the food was exceptional and the accommodation was insanely beautiful. The two people who really made our stay at Sabi Sabi was Banie our tracker and Warren our guide! This incredible duo worked as an amazing team giving us the most amazing animal encounters we could ask for. Warrens knowledge of animals and the natural world is like nothing I have ever encountered. And his sense of humour made each safari so much fun! We cannot thank this amazing duo enough. Staying at Sabi Sabi and experiencing what the Greater Kruger NP has to offer will live on in my heart. Thank you again Sabi Sabi for making dreams come true. ♥️
