Savile Row Travel’s Head of Africa, Steve Upton, says:

“Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is one of the originals in the heart of the Sabi Sands, and has been around for nearly 45 years! It’s the biggest lodge I’ve stayed at (with 26 suites and villas) and my one concern was how busy it could be. However, those concerns quickly disappeared as a superbly organised team looked after everything we needed. Our two-bedroom villa was beautifully appointed with lovely touches for the girls, and the location was fantastic, with buffalo, kudu and lions appearing at the watering hole. At night, we loved eating dinner as the roar of two male lions resonated around us!

The Elefun Kids Club was perfect for our two, giving them fun activities in the late morning post-safari, and giving us parents a chance to rest! Meals were mainly served buffet-style, which worked well for our family compared with more formal dining in other Kruger lodges. Again though, it was our ranger, Macs, who really brought this place alive for us, taking care to stop and chat through the children’s questions as we went. He helped them experience those moments of wonder that only safari can give you – a baby elephant learning to nurse, lion cubs wrestling in the grass, a baby rhino grazing alongside its mother.”
