Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The Sabie River Bush Lodge is very close to the Paul Kruger Gate, which made it very comfortable for us to be in the park after just a short drive. The accommodation had everything one could ask for. It was very special to see and hear the hippos in the river whenever we were around. The food was very good and good option to choose from were offered. It was a bit sad that our small group of our family of 4 and our friend and guide were the only guests there while we were there, as we wondered why not more people were staying at this beautiful lodge.
