My family (husband, daughter, son-in-law and I) stayed at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge August 11 – August 15, 2025. It was an absolutely AMAZING experience! From Conrad, the general manager, to Werner and Sidney (our ranger and tracker), to Innocent (our dining server), to the sweet young lady in the gift shop, and everyone else on staff, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The accommodations (we were in the Tumbela villa) were wonderful and the food and drinks were great. Werner and Sidney were outstanding! They were so knowledgeable, personable, friendly, able to answer any questions we had, and were just as excited as we were to see everything. We saw all of the Big 5 (lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and leopards) as well as zebras, giraffes, hyenas, kudu, warthogs, antelope, baboons, monkeys, impala, dwarf mongoose. Seeing lion cubs and juveniles playing, adults basking in the sun, being trumpeted by a young elephant, and everything else was just unbelievable. It was so awesome to experience the South African bushveld and see all of these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we would highly recommend Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge (and especially Werner and Sidney)!

I have been on safari in Tanzania and Namibia, and I wanted to share the experience with my family—my son and daughter-in-law and three grandkids. Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge was the perfect place for our family! Candy, our guide, and Jack, our tracker, were a perfect team—we saw the Big Five on our first two game drives! And we had so much fun with Candy and Jack—we all felt like we were family. Our rooms were exceptional—well laid out with every amenity we could ever want. Lilly took great care of us in the dining room, as well. We can’t wait to come back!

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 !

This is my favorite camp in all of Africa. I went with my six-year-old daughter and they had tons of activities for children and a wonderful children’s advisor. The rooms were absolutely fantastic. The dining was incredible outdoors with different African wild game animals each day it was really the trip of a lifetime and yet we meant it to just be One of another trip trips. We had a private game drive and I wish I could remember a wonderful woman Wac is our guide. She was a great photographer and absolutely charming and wonderful to my daughter. This is a whirl class resort and I recommend it to anybody.

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!
