Sabi Sabi Bush lodge

Location:
Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is set in the heart of the private Sabi Sand Reserve, which borders Kruger National Park. This prime location offers exceptional access to one of South Africa’s richest wildlife areas, where Big Five sightings are common and the landscapes range from open plains to riverine bush. The lodge’s position ensures a sense of seclusion without being far from airstrips for easy access.

Rooms:
The lodge offers 25 spacious suites, including two Luxury Villas and the Mandleve Deluxe Suite. Each is stylishly decorated with a contemporary take on African design, featuring glass-fronted interiors, large bathrooms, and private decks overlooking the bush. Family suites cater for those travelling with children, without compromising on comfort or privacy.

Amenities:
Guests can relax in two swimming pools, enjoy treatments at the Amani Spa, or browse the boutique. A central lounge, bar, and open-air boma create a sociable yet serene atmosphere. The lodge is family-friendly, children can go to the EleFun Centre for entertaining and educational nature-based activities, giving younger guests their own window into the magic of the bush.

Activities:
Morning and evening game drives, led by highly skilled rangers and Shangaan trackers, offer front-row seats to the Big Five and a host of other species. The open vehicles allow for unobstructed views and close-up sightings, while night drives reveal the secret life of the bush after dark. Guided bush walks provide a slower, more sensory way to connect with the landscape — learning about tracks, plants, and the rhythms of the wild.

Sustainability:
Sabi Sabi is committed to conservation, community engagement, and responsible tourism. The lodge supports local education, healthcare, and employment initiatives, and works to minimise its environmental impact through energy-efficient practices and habitat protection. Many aspects of your stay are supported by local entrepreneurs and small businesses, from garden maintenance to evening entertainment, a stay at a Sabi Sabi lodge will have a direct positive impact on the surrounding communities.
