Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is set within the Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve in South Africa’s Greater Kruger region. As the original lodge in the Sabi Sabi collection, it brings together classic safari atmosphere, relaxed luxury and a strong sense of place in one of the country’s most established private safari areas.
The lodge is well suited to couples, families and small groups looking for a polished safari experience with excellent guiding, comfortable suites, generous lodge facilities and easy access to Big Five wildlife viewing. Its warm, welcoming style makes it a strong choice for guests who want luxury without losing the feeling of being at home in the bush.
We love Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge for its balance of comfort, character and safari energy. It has the feel of a classic safari lodge, but with enough space, facilities and flexibility to work beautifully for different types of guests.
It is especially strong for families and groups. The luxury suites and villas offer plenty of space, while the EleFun Centre, swimming pools, safari deck, Amani Spa and relaxed dining areas make the lodge easy to enjoy between game drives.

Safari with lifetime memories
Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is a 1st Class, 5-star guest experience. Our guides and trackers (Josh, Devon, Dallon and Zuzu) went above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience tailoring our game drives to our special desires. Sabi Sabi is loaded with staff that care, make guests feel like they are part of a special family and are at your service always with grace and a smile. The Bush Lodge food, accommodations and grounds were amazing. Do not think twice about booking this trip. Life is too short and while not a budget experience, you will not regret going 5-star! Thanks Sabi Sabi for helping our family make memories that will last a lifetime!

Amazing Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge
We visited Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge in May and I have nothing but praise for it as they looked after us so well. The accommodation, food, staff and facilities were first class. A special shout out should go to our ranger (Samke) and tracker (Gladstone) whose passion and knowledge on safari trips was unbelievable and we took home so many memories thanks to them! I arrived thinking this would be a once only holiday but now I want to go back! Thank you to the manager and everybody at Bush Lodge for making our visit so amazing
