United States of AmericaI love the hotel … our room was beautiful with a balcony facing the bush … you can see animals from there We have a lot of space Food was ok not my favorite… The game drives were worth 💯… our driver Kelly and the tracking ranger were more than amazing … we see the big 5 in 1 game drive … also they go above and beyond our expectations The morning walk was amazing our ranger was the best … I always felt safe … Dying to go back soon 💓🦁

United States of America10/10 recommend! Best value in Sabi Sans - amazing property (especially the suites which were huge and had stunning views), the safari guides were great and guaranteed access to the best animal sightseeing. Sabi Sans is apparently unique in that the animals are used to the vehicles and therefore don't mind when you're near them.

CanadaMy husband and I stayed at Elephants Plains and had a wonderful experience. Staff was really attentive to every single detail and really kind. Game drive was absolutely outstanding. We were really able to see a lot of animals and our guide was very professional and explained us a lot. Then the lodge and food was just perfect. We will definitely come back and we highly recommend it.

SwitzerlandThe location in the Sabi Sands is really central to the areas that I wanted to see on game drives. The animals and birds are abundant and that's what I went there for.
