"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.
