“Excellent safaris, room & service. Not for self drivers, horrible road to get there from Kruger NP”

Safaris were excellent and we saw a lion, giraffes and a leopard. The facilities are great, the room was enormous and comfortable. The architecture is modern. The service was very good. We were offered drinks after the safari.

“Nice lodge that has everything you need, however a bit overpriced.”

The game drives were exceptional. We had a lot of fun with Jordan and Chris who always tried to provide us with adventure (Leopard eating his pray, wild dogs hunting, etc.) We really enjoyed the tours! In general the people were really nice and friendly to us.

“Enjoyed my stay!!!”

Service was excellent Everything was seamless , just wait for things to be planned out and go with the flow. W

Excellent Safari Lodge. Game viewing was amazing.

“Amazing place and awesome staff. Our safari experience exceeded all expectations and gave us unforgettable memories.”

The lodge was amazing with plenty of space and offered a fabulous veranda with views of the plains. The complimentary drinks and snacks on arrival and on game drives were a lovely treat. All the staff were incredible, extremely attentive and knowledgeable. The manager Kel and Ranger Jordan are both a credit to Elephant Plains. They did their upmost to ensure we had a fabulous time, which we did. The game drives were the highlight of our stay followed by a lovely soak in the deep luxury bath at the end of the day.

Phenomenal service by staff, delicious vegetarian food, smack location and awesome game drives. This lodge stands out amongst all the others at Sabi Sands.

“A memorable stay.”

Breakfast was good, catering for all tastes. Had a cooked breakfast or continental depending on that day's preference. Enjoyed options of tea, varieties of coffee and hot chocolate and/or fruit juices. All meals provided options and food was tasty and there was plenty of it. Enjoyed the evening drinks breaks during drives and felt very special to come back to the lodge and find a choice of cocktails awaiting us. The most amazing experiences and wild life sightings made this an outstanding holiday. We liked the fact we could fit in a morning drive on the day of departure. Made our day.

“Out of this world”

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Everyone treated us so well and our game drives were out of this world. 100% recommended.

“Truly magical!”

We booked this based on the excellent reviews and it exceeded every expectation. The staff were fantastic and every aspect of the accommodation was amazing. The game drives and bush walks were beyond what we could have hoped for and we will definitely be returning. It was a truly magical holiday!

“Loved every second of our stay”

It had been a a lot of rain the last period before we arrived. So much that we were not sure it would be possible to go on gamedrives!? But during our stay, there where no more rain, and we got much more then what we could hope for! A huge thanks to Chris- our tracker, and Nicholas- our guide, to make the drives (and walkes) some of the greatest drives we've experienced! Very knowledgeable in all animals, birds and plants. Elephant Plains is a place we felt at home, in a very relaxed atmosphere! Great food, great accommodation and a lovely staff!

“Great affordable bush lodge, you will see the Big 5 and more.”

The staff, accommodation and location are absolutely excellent. The food is outstanding. What a gem.

“Was more than expected”

Everybody was very helpful and knowledgeable

“Unbelievable experience”

WOW WOW WOW!! I wish I could give one million stars. I’m already thinking of when I can come back. The place is absolutely perfect, the lodge is modern, clean, beautiful, in the perfect spot. I saw elephants and rhino right from the pool. The monkeys were adorable too. The staff were amazing, they made the experience so personalized, and really paid extra attention to every detail, even my many food allergies. The food was amazing, and I’m an extremely picky eater. Drinks were awesome. And of course most importantly the drives were awesome!! Doctor and Colbert went above and beyond to find us every animal we wanted to see. I was blown away at how close we got to the animals, especially the lions. Doctor is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the bush. I stayed in the upgraded rooms and it was unbelievable. The other smaller rooms looked a bit dated, but the type I stayed in couldn’t have been better. The only thing I could say would be an improvement is if they warned people how long the drive in is. On gps it will say it’s a short time but it was actually over 2 hours longer than it said due to poor road quality. There weren’t many signs on the route, so it felt like I was completely lost many times, you really have to track the kms on each road listed by the map that they send. Overal I can’t believe it’s only listed as 4 stars, because it’s a 5 for sure. I don’t want to go anywhere else in SA now!

“10/10, would recommend!”

The staff was great, everyone from Nicholas and Dumi our ranger and tracker to the reception, kitchen, bar man… everyone was excellent! Food and drinks were amazing, game drives were incredible. I have only good things to say about this lodge.
