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!

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.

We like the place, close to the kruger gate. We are always enjoying breakfast with the view to the hippos. Staff are very friendly and helpful, we are vegetarian and they prepared us a veggie dinner. Thanks for that. Everything was great. Even they washed our car.

Great view of the river bed of Kruger. Fantastic bed, clean tent and bathroom. I did not understand the box with remote for aircon and plug system, thought it was a bit unnecessary. Loved the complimentary car wash! Staff is very friendly and rates for drinks are very good. Will be back!
