Mala Mala Game Reserve

My family and I had a great experience here! To be honest, while the food was not bad (the lamb, game meats, and desserts at dinner were great, and the alcohol was not bad), considering the high price with which one would be able to buy Michelin star meals , I think that the food could have been better. The rooms were large and homely, no complaints in this department from me. However, the highlight of the trip was of course the game drives and bush walks. Our ranger Queen and tracker Anton were outstanding. They were highly skilled at locating animals from the most subtle cues (as a testament to this we saw all of the big 5 in the span of a single day!). But beyond that, they truly made an effort to impary some of their plentiful experience, make us feel welcome, and share their personal anecdotes with us. With many intimate encounters with the animals in the wild, this was a very special and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend them :)

We have been on a few safaris before - but Sabi Sabi Bush lodge was not about sigthings but experiences. Yes we saw the big 5 and on one day within the day, but it was our guide Jana and tracker NhlaNhla who made the safaris extra special. From just observing a few hundred buffalos, to failed hunts of a leopard masking her scent rolling in the dust and not to forget tracking a pride of lions. Its the sincerity, shared enthusiasm when they would have seen them many times and painstakingly explaining the ways mother nature worked which made the the trip memorable. The location of the bush logde adds the extra special to see elephant herds coming to frolic in the water and teach some manners. Thank you Conrad and team for living the purpose of keeping nature first as the aminals were always kept at the core with no more than 2-3 vehicles around. We have been planning this for 12 years and yes, it was worth every bit of it!

It is hard to put into words our wonderful experience. My heart will forever be fuller because of the kind hearted people at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. Yes the property is amazing and seeing animals was more than I ever expected. But the kindness and care of Sam, Gladstone and Foster will never be forgotten. Sam and Gladstone love the land and you could feel it everyday. Foster was so caring and joyful to be around. Overall I am leaving behind family and a culture that will truly be missed. Thank you for teaching us and caring for us. ❤️ Valerie and Robert

Sabi Sabi is a world in its own ! The resort-style accommodation overlooking the watering hole with frequent visitors from the animal kingdom and vast expanse of surrounding land is absolutely mesmerizing. Facilities and service was excellent. And the best part was the amazing team of Jana (our guide/ranger) and Lucky (our tracker) who were simply phenomenal. Jana is very passionate and a subject matter expert who not only took us through some great sightings but took time to explain animal behaviors and the bush ecosystem such that every game drive was an experience to watch and learn. Lucky has a super efficient "eye for sightings" and together they gave us an absolutely memorable experience. Also special mention for Conrad, the lodge manager who was present to greet us daily after game drives and ensured that guest needs are always taken care of. Thank you to the Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge Team for enabling such an amazing time for our family !

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was great from pickup at the airport to departure. We stayed there for four nights which was a perfect amount of time to see the big 5. No complaints about anything. The food, the rooms, and the service is incredible. Our ranger was Candy and our tracker was Jack. They have worked many years at the lodge and did a great job with our kids. The manager Conrad made sure all of our needs were met. We also had an excellent waiter during our stay named Foster. He made sure each of our meals was a great experience.
