Tripadvisor comments Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

This was a return visit after 20+ years with the kids now in tow, our expectations were high after our first visit but they were exceeded in every aspect. Beautiful lodge, fantastic personal service from the staff, rangers, trackers and managers, who all really care about the animals and the guests experience.

We were at Sabisabi for our honeymoon. We had a great experience and saw several times the big 5! Accommodation is very comfortable and magnificent. Rangers are super experienced you feel very safe even if you are very close to the animals
