"I decided to surprise my husband for his 50th Birthday at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. We were treated like royalty. The Staff were so super organised, professioal and efficient and by the time we left the next day, we felt as though we had made new friends. The Rangers knowledge was exceptional and he made a fuss of all creatures great and small. The food was outstanding and the ambience perfect. A great THANK YOU to Carien who did our booking. She was a complete star. To everyone concerned, thanks for making my husband's special night a memorable one"

"What an amazing experience! Luxurious accommodation, outstanding service, friendly staff, very knowledgeable rangers and trackers ... the ultimate bush experience!"
- Gillian McKeith
"We spent 3 nights at Bush Lodge and had the most incredible experience for our first African Safari. The lodge is beautiful, rooms were very comfortable and every little detail was taken care of, the hot water bottles to warm the beds at night were much appreciated. The staff did everything they could to make sure every need was met, the food was delicious and plentiful, everyone made us feel so welcome. The game drives and bush walks were exciting with our own very knowledgeable ranger who had so much patience for the seemingly never ending questions of our 2 children, they and we all learnt a lot about the animals, birds and plants that we saw. One of many highlights for me was a leopard with her 4 month old cub, a very special treat to be able to watch them on their morning stroll from a few meters away. I can't wait to go back!"

"Beautiful luxurious room, service and food excellent, enjoyed drinks in the bar before dinner, loved the boma dinner. Game drives great. Cannot complain about anything. Room tip - our room was close to main area which was great, short walk"
- Dorothy
"A wonderful location for photographing the animals of South Africa with experienced guides trying to optimize the experience with extensive knowledge. The beautiful lodge, excellent food, service, and amenities rounded out the experience."
- Gary
"Sabi Sabi is just the most amazing place whichever lodge you stay. We were fortunate to stay in Bush lodge and the more contemporary Earth lodge. We had monkeys on our veranda at Bush and elephants in our garden at Earth - one of the most incredible and terrifying experiences ever was seeing a bull elephant come round the corner whilst chilling on the lounger. Both morning and evening safaris are a must and the Rangers and trackers are highly skilled at what they do. We had safari manager Andre and Evans on our first day, Andre being so interesting and knowledgeable. Then Tayla and Candy on day 2 - that girl can really off road. Enjoyed being treated like a VIP and was so emotional when had to leave. Will definitely return."
