Claiming over 100 years of safari experience, Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve recalls Africa's golden era. Tucked into 65,000 hectares in Kruger National Park in northeast South Africa, it offers thrilling encounters with the continent's most spectacular wildlife. Expect to see more than just the Big Five here - elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo are only the beginning. When you finished exploring the bush in an open-air Land Rover with your Shangaan tracker, you will be treated to luxurious African living at the Selati Camp, Bush Lodge, Little Bush Camp or Earth Lodge.

Words cannot describe how special this place is. From the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful and it's hard to find any fault. I thought it strange that upon arrival some said 'welcome home' when it was my first visit but now I'm missing this place and the memories will last forever. The room is so impressive- spacious and there is attention to every beautiful detail. The staff are all so warm- anticipating every need. MamaZ made us feel like family from the first introduction. We were incredibly lucky to have Ulrich as our guide- such professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge. He was so engaging and passionate in his delivery and tailored everything to our interests. The food is some of the best I have experienced anywhere in the world - it's buffet style but top quality, varied and kept interesting each night. There's nothing more I could have asked for besides staying longer!

Lovely hotel, the rooms are magnificent. The bush surroundings are amazing. The twice daily game drives (included) were exciting, with a driver and tracker, that included morning coffee and afternoon cocktails served from the jeep, right in the bush. There was a lovely bar area with complimentary drinks of all kinds served throughout the day. Meals were offered buffet style, rather than served. The offerings were varied, but not always to my personal liking. Yet, the staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. This was a luxurious experience.

The staff at all the lodges were really welcoming and accommodating and made us feel right at home. As for the game viewing, we could not complain as we had so many memorable experiences to choose from. We will be back for more.

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!

A very big thank you to the management and all staff at Sabi Sabi Busgh Lodge for the warm hospitality that we received during our stay. It was unforgettable - from the day we arrived until the minute we left. A special thank you to our ranger and tracker for allowing us the opportunity to see the Big Five twice!
