The setting is quite unique - wonderful gardens and on the bank of Sabie River with Hippos and Elephants visiting each day from the other bank which is already Kruger SAN Park. Friendly and helpful staff. Close to Paul Kruger Gate, just a 20min drive to enter the park

We had a "luxory tent" which had no fridge. So fruit and milk for the coffee could not be refrigerated and each and every beer / wine / soda had to be carrried from the bar to the room. That we felt as entirely unnecessary and not really helpful. Breakfast and evening dinner was just okay, other lodges offer better quality

The pool with a view of hippos and elephants was incredible. The staff at reception and in the restaurant were all very friendly and nice. The room was a bit dark, but it was clean and comfortable. Mosquito net over the bed was a great addition. 15-20mins drive from the gate into Kruger Park.

We were unhappy with our game drives that we booked through Sabie Bush lodge. We were not impressed with the behaviour of the tour guide in the park. We gave our feedback and hope he has improved for future guests as his behaviour ruined our stay for us. Otherwise it would have been a great low cost place to stay in Kruger.

We had a great time at Sabie River Bush lodge. The lodge is in a great location c30 minutes drive from either the Kruger of Phanebi gate. Every day we were there elephants visited the river which was really atmospheric. The staff were extremely helpful and the food really nice (changed every night and the chef clearly put a lot of work into the presentation / variety). The game drives themselves were also excellent, with the guides (our guide was called France) working hard to identify animals and giving us good information on things we saw. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

We had one of the river fronted lodges, which allowed for great viewing of the animals, spacious & good air con. All staff friendly and really helpful, especially when our youngest daughter was unwell, they could not do enough to help us. Really close to Paul Kruger Gate, for access to the park, and also easy drive to God's Window and Sabie waterfall

The restaurant offers a stunning view by the river, creating a serene and picturesque dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the hippos as they swam and playfully 'laughed,' adding a unique charm to our visit. The food was not only delicious but also healthy and expertly prepared, showcasing attention to detail and quality. A truly delightful and serene experience!

The room has a charming vintage feel, and it's clear we're nestled deep in the bush, which adds a unique character to the experience. While I personally wasn't a fan of the rustic vibe, my partner absolutely loved the authenticity and connection to nature it offered.

We had a really nice cottage located near the water, that was frequently visited by hippo's. Cosy restaurant, good food. Very friendly staff who really were willing to go the extra mile. We got daily breakfast packages to take away to the Kruger. Before check-out our car was cleaned without our knowledge, which was really great. Paul Kruger gate is a 20 minutes drive away from the lodge, easy accessible by safe road.

The only thing is that our cottage could need an update. The living room was cosy with enough comfy seats. However the beds were really short and the floor of our bathroom sloped in the wrong direction so that it became a waterballet after each shower. At the same time, we paid a fair price so I would say it is still good value for money. Location is good and the service excellent.

We loved all the friendly and welcoming staff ,watching the hippos and kids enjoyed the chess game. It was also nice having our car washed each day. Staff were so accomodating adding a heater while we ate was extra special. The chocolate and key ring by each bed side was a nice touch. The garden area is beautiful and well kept. We also had a nice view from our room and eating area. I would definitely recommend and we will go back again.

Everything was great, however I would recommend giving more kiddie friendly food ,possibly a kiddie menu or adding a extra option would be great for dessert. We will definitely visit again.

The view was amazing. The hippo's [and sometimes elephants, koedoes, crocodiles and impala's) roam around the sabie river that is right in front of the accomodation so its like going on safari. The arranged safaris with the Sabie River Bush lodge were amazing. The driver casca was very nice and could tell u a lot about the animals and he really tried (and succeeded) to find all the animals we could think of.

The showerhead was very low for my boyfriend who is almost 2m so keep that in mind.

Closely situated to Kruger gates. Viewing deck is amazing to relaxe and watch nature across the river with animals regularly coming to drink. Restaurant on the property makes it convenient. Staff makes you feel at home. Their motto ‘Recharge your soul’ is a perfect description. Different accommodation options to suit every personality. Outdoor chess, putt putt and a pool add to fun and games to relax after a days game viewing. Truly a place to charge one’s batteries before heading back into the world.

The location was great. 15 mins from the gate, overlooking the river and watching hippos and elephants while we lay by the pool and ate our lunch. The accommodation was clean and comfy. The staff were superb and couldn't do enough for us. The waiter and chef were understanding of my dairy and gluten intolerances and adapted the meals each day for me. The food was delicious. We did 3 days of game drives and had some fantastic guides who absolutely delivered. We feel blessed by the number and variety of animals we saw. Special shout out to Andrew and France who were informative, friendly, funny and patient when we wanted to take a million photos! Thank you so much to everyone at the lodge for making our stay so special. We would definitely recommend staying here to others.

There really isn't anything we didn't like. It's such a fantastic place. As with most accommodation it would be great to have a couple more hooks in the bedroom to hang jackets and things on.
