"Sabie River Bush Lodge exceeded our expectations. The accommodation and service were 5 Star. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We never went short of drinks or food. The food was out of this world. Our eight-year-old can sometimes be a fussy eater, but after our stay he wanted to bring the chef home! We saw elephants while relaxing on the deck almost every day. We also saw buffalo, monkeys, impala and birds. It is an excellent base from which to explore other areas and Patrick, our safari guide, was informative and showed us things and animals we wouldn't have been able to find on our own. I can't praise the lodge enough. Although we fitted a lot into our week's stay, we felt relaxed and refreshed afterwards. We only wish our stay could have been longer. It is definitely a trip we will take again."


"Very nice safari accommodation"

(Austria) Monika Ršck

"A very nice and small lodge within a beautiful location - easy access to the Kruger Park. The staff were friendly. The luxury tents were brilliant. The good restaurant had a nice view into the Kruger Park."

"A bit of heaven in the bush"

(South Africa) Hermann Loubser

"First visit for this family of four to Kruger Park. Delighted to have stayed at Sabie River Bush Lodge. Top marks go to the staff, who couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Enjoyed the half-board arrangements, breakfast was the best meal. The chalet was very comfortable, made use of a sofa bed for the little ones. Could have done with a small fridge in the room. Splendid decking, enjoyed the swimming pool and a few cocktails on the sun chairs looking at the hippos, the resident 'alarm clocks'. Arranged a half-day safari with the excellent and informative Patrick which didn't disappoint. Overall, Sabie River Bush Lodge represents good value for money. We would definitely recommend it to friends and we would go back."

We will come back."


"Wonderful hospitality and superb views "

Comfortable rooms, very friendly people and stunning views and ambience due to the location on the river bank. When we arrived a group of elephants was playing in the river right in front of the viewing deck."

"This lodge was fantastic. They prepared take away breakfast for us very early for our game drives. Dinner and breakfast were included and dinner was delicious! Animals galore along the bank! About 50 elephant would come right up to the banks and graze near the fence. There was a resident hippo that was always seen. The distance to Kruger was great too and it only took 18 min to Kruger gate entrance. "

"On the Monday the 4th of August, we set out for a long 9 hour trip, heading for the beloved Kruger National Park.
After a long exhausting journey we reached our overnight stop. This was the tranquil and very welcoming retreat of Sabie River Lodge.
The staff were friendly and made us feel at home. Our room was cosy and clean.
After a welcome siesta we had drinks and snacks on the deck, with the beautiful view of the Sabie River and the animals drinking on the other side.
This was followed by a tasty dinner with very good service from the staff.
The next morning again very good service and a hearty breakfast. It was all very good value.

"I arrived at Sabie River Bush Lodge on Friday 27th April 2012 together with my family .I would like to highly praise the stuff of Sabie for their warm welcome. We were met by Patrick at the reception and he is a very humble guy with a smile. Saturday 5am he was our Tour Guide to Kruger for a half day visit. He was so patient and explained everything to us; from the trees, birds, animals and even the animal droppings .

I stayed three nights and cannot complain about the food. I would like to highly praise the chef as he always served a 5 star dinner.I will definitely come back. Patrick is a hard worker with good heart as we found that on Sunday night he was also assisting in the kitchen and serving customers with a smile on his face .

I would definitely recommend Sabie River Bush Lodge to my friends and colleagues as it has value for money.

Please keep it up, especially with regards to your staff, as they really treat you like a king .
