"The staff went above and beyond. They went and picked up my suitcase that was delayed arrival and delivered to an airport for almost 2 hours away. They had amazing hospitality. Every morning, we are waking up with a awesome wake up. Call and treated to a great breakfast before going out on the most spectacular game drives. Could not recommend enough."

"We traveled as a couple and spent three nights in Hoyo Hoyo. Our trip was all about the two three hour game drives morning and evening. They were sensational. Andrew, our guide was a treasure.
Our bungalow was fantastic and beautifully appointed (NB tailor your expectations. This is in the middle of the bush and not an 80th floor suite in a 6 star hotel in China). Nonetheless, all our needs were catered for with a smile and a joke from the delightful staff, always at the ready.

A wonderful experience! Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Eating lunch out on the deck watching the elephants come down to the water was thrilling! This hotel really exceeded our expectations. The trips and tours office went above and beyond to make all our tours a life time experience!

The complex has an excellent restaurant with great views of wildlife and the service was exceptional. The Gym was very good and its equipment was pristine.
Our Boma was very private and it had nice views of various species of wildlife walking by every afternoon as they made their way into the bush for the evening.

Lion sands was probably the most beautiful stay and moreover experience i ever had. Not only did we see tons of wildlife, the staff and guide + tracker team were out of this world, charming and caring, kind and fun, doing everything to make our stay the most agreeable. We felt like we were with family and truly believe this is an experience like no other.
It's a must do and see, one to hold and cherish.
Thank you for making it all so perfect and surprising us along the way with your kindness...

Short stay in between south African conferences. Everything was beyond what was advertised. Location is superb as was staff. Safaris are great - the 3 hour walking in the early AM - you are right in the mix.
Saw 4 of big five (no Leopard) White and Black Rhino and wild dogs.

All of the rooms were beautifully renovated. The food was incredible, everyone in the staff went out of their way to make sure that guests were happy, and they called everyone by name. The Safari rides were over the top and our guide Stuart and his tracker Colin were very knowledgeable and professional. The jeeps were brand new and very comfortable. We were sad to leave after an incredible 3 night stay at Leopard Hills.

Our stay at Elephant Plains Game Lodge was unforgettable. From the warm welcome to the seamless rooming experience, everything was handled with care and professionalism.
The highlight of our trip was the remarkable safari adventures (game drives), where we had the chance to see elephants, giraffes, lions, rhinos, leopards, and more up close—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. The delicious meals, tailored to accommodate vegetarian preferences, were excellent.

This is a nice property near Phabeni gate of Kruger National Park, which is just a 6 minute drive. Akani is a great host and if you need anything he will bend over backwards to help! You can park right next to your chalet, which is very helpful. - I personally hate lodges where you have to park a distance away! - There is a pub nearby that gets noisy at times, but if you run a fan it drowns out the noise. The property is very close to the main road and is very safe!

The best area to stay in Sabiepark is within the private conservancy itself, particularly in a lodge or self-catering villa.
Sabiepark is a private wildlife conservancy, meaning all accommodations are situated within its boundaries, offering direct access to the bushveld. The entire area is unfenced from the Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to roam freely. Roads within the conservancy are well-maintained gravel, leading to individual properties that are typically set apart for privacy.
For couples seeking a private and secluded wildlife experience, staying in one of the many well-appointed private lodges or villas is ideal. These properties often feature amenities like private plunge pools and viewing decks, allowing for intimate wildlife viewing directly from your accommodation.
Families will find the self-catering villas particularly suitable. These homes often come with multiple bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and outdoor spaces, providing ample room and flexibility for children.
When is the best time to go to Sabiepark?
The best time to visit Sabiepark is during the dry season, from May to October, as this period offers the most comfortable weather and optimal wildlife viewing opportunities.
During these months, rainfall is minimal, and the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot animals near water sources. The cooler temperatures, especially in the mornings and evenings, are ideal for game drives and outdoor activities. This time is particularly good for couples or solo travelers seeking a focused safari experience without the intense heat and humidity of the summer months.
While the dry season is excellent for wildlife viewing, the shoulder months of April and November can also be appealing. These months offer a transition between seasons, with slightly warmer temperatures and the possibility of some rain, but still good wildlife sightings and potentially fewer visitors.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Sabiepark.
How much is the nightly rate at a Sabiepark hotel?
Prices for hotels in Sabiepark often vary, but you can find a great deal from $39 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
