Kruger Gate Road (previously know as Portia Shabangu Drive), Hazyview, South Africa – Great location - show map
This lovely place was everything we hoped it’d be. From comfortable beds to exceptional service. Watching hippos in Sabi river while chilling in their pool was a priceless experience. We booked a full day safari we other the lodge and had a great experience. We even saw a white rhino😊 Highly recommended!

United States of AmericaWarm welcome and treatment by the staff. They even washed our car on a daily basis.
South AfricaFrom the moment we arrived at the lodge, the staff made us feel very welcome. Check in went very smoothly, we were ushered to our room and were assured that should we require anything that we just call the staff any time. The resort itself is a hidden gem and oasis. The deck itself is spectacular and overlooks the Sabie River. You can make yourself comfy on the deck loungers and watch the hippos in the river. It's amazing. The food is exceptional. The Kruger Gate is also situated approximately 15km from the Lodge allowing you easy access to the Park. May the staff of Sabie River Bush Lodge keep up the greatness.
