The game drives were amazing. We saw the big five and more up close in two days. Great customer service and delicious food. An excellent value in Sabi Sands

Room had lovely decor and comfortable bed. Food was delicious with good presentation. We visited six years ago and fell in love with Elephant Plains. The facilities and experience was as wonderful now as before. Animals plentiful in the area.

We stayed for a single night and managed to see all the big 5. Dylan (our guide) was great, He definitely did the extra mile to make sure we all are satisfied and happy with our game drives.

Beautiful facility. Comfy beds, Too much delicious food. Amazing game drives with Kayleigh(sp?). Loved the off road explorations to get close to animals

I 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 💓🦁

10/10 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.

All meals and presentation were great. Staff very helpful.

The property was beautiful with sightings of elephants right infront of our room!!

Breakfast was good, catering for all tastes. Had a cooked breakfast or continental depending on that day's preference. Enjoyed options of tea, varieties of coffee and hot chocolate and/or fruit juices. All meals provided options and food was tasty and there was plenty of it. Enjoyed the evening drinks breaks during drives and felt very special to come back to the lodge and find a choice of cocktails awaiting us. The most amazing experiences and wild life sightings made this an outstanding holiday. We liked the fact we could fit in a morning drive on the day of departure. Made our day.

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Everyone treated us so well and our game drives were out of this world. 100% recommended.
