The staff was amazing and very helpful. The location is wonderful about ten minutes the Kruger gate and ten minutes to shopping mall in hazyview. The food was excellent and the room was clean and well maintained. Our only issue was with the pool area. The deck is in need of repair and the pool had algae on the top so we didn't use it. Other travelers were also very friendly. Would stay again.

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay. All the hotel staff could not do enough for you, the room was lovely, and the food was well prepared and tasty. The location is what sells it for us, right on the banks of the Sabie River and 20 minutes drive from Paul Kruger Gate and entry into the wonderful Kruger Park. We would happily stay here again.

This is a magnificently situated lodge, with wonderful views over the Sabie River to the Kruger. We had elephant, hippos and otters entertaining us. The staff are wonderful, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Lovely riverfront setting with hippos.

We had a great stay. The property looks over the Sabie River and has a family of resident hippos to entertain you. The staff were friendly and Lucas in particular went above and beyond when my hire car had a puncture in a tyre and he went with me, after his shift finished,to the tyre repair place and helped me to get it fixed. I thoroughly recommend the lodge for providing the ambience and great setting of the really expensive luxury lodges but at a fraction of the price.

Wonderful staff of this river lodge bordering Kruger National Park. Large spacious room. Great sunrise and day safaris from their own staff. Sunset safari is run by the National Park so needs transport to Kruger Gate if you don’t have your own vehicle. Couple of things could be improved. Firstly, the wi-fi could be faster. Secondly, windows should be kept closed to prevent mosquitoes from entering rooms since it’s a malaria area. Overall, a lovely stay to see Kruger National Park and its animals. An elephant was along the river the first afternoon while a hippo was along the river on my morning departure. You’re also see animals while arriving and leaving SZK airport.

Also location where perfekt about 20 km from Paul Kruger gate. Best regards Minna and Heikki from Finland

Really good and perfect for us!We needed to be close to an airport and Kruger Park for safari, so that we could fly in, go safari, fly out without long drives as our time was restricted. So this was perfect. It is only ~30 mins from Skukuza airport and also 30min drive to Paul Kruger Gate, entrance to Kruger Park. It is a 3star accommodation but it is super-nice.We stayed in the Luxury Cabin overlooking the Sabie River. It has 2 bedrooms,sitting room,really nicely tiled bathroom, and a fantastic porch to sit and watch the wildlife on the river-a family of hippos was daily viewing and a crocodile sunning on the river bank. There is also a decked area for all guests with small swimming pool, overlooking the river. Again perfect for watching wildlife on the river while enjoying a cold drink! Lovely grounds and gardens meticulously cared for. Very friendly, helpful staff. The bar is nice with satelite TV to show sports- eg Premier league and European football.We were halfboard, breakfast very good (full English, omelette) and dinner also very good and varied each night.They arrange safari for an extra cost (amount very reasonable compared to other places). And the safari guides were great, really knowledgeable and keen to maximise our experience. We saw all the big 5 on the first day-even leopard which is difficult at the best of times. And Skukuza Airport is actually in Kruger Park.So safari starts from pick up at airport as you go to Sabie River Lodge! Highly recommended!

We had a great family stay at Sabie River Bush Lodge in one of the log cabins that had lots of room for a family of 4. The staff here go over and beyond to ensure that your stay is memorable. The breakfast and dinner were included in our rate and the food was so delicious! Kudos to the cook! The grounds are well maintained and the view overlooking Sabie River and Kruger Park was so peaceful and serene. One of their guides Caska took us on an unforgettable sunrise safari at Kruger Park. Thank you!

The highlights of our stay here were the incredibly friendly staff and the generous food options. The service was akin to 5 star hotels - attentive, thoughtful and friendly. The food was plentiful and it was nice to have choices for dinner and breakfast. The room was suitable for our needs for a few nights and very clean and tidy.

O hotel é incrível! A vista do restaurante e piscina para o Kruger vale por toda a experiência. A equipe é incrível, super atenciosos e gentis, desde a recepção até os guias do Safari. Destaco Kabelo, um dos garçons, que sempre nos recebia com sorrisos e simpatia. Fechamos os safáris com o próprio hotel e foi a melhor opção possível! A comida também é bem gostosa. Não temos nada a reclamar.
