Our safari at Elephant Plains Game Lodge was truly magical—our first safari experience exceeded all expectations! The lodge itself is a dream, with delicious food and the warmest, most attentive staff. Our luxury suite was beautiful and comfortable, offering the perfect escape to disconnect and immerse ourselves in nature. The highlight was our game drives with Colbert (tracker) and Matthew (ranger), who made every moment special. Their expertise, patience, and passion brought the bush to life as they shared incredible animal sightings and insights. We felt pampered, safe, and completely captivated. This experience will stay with us forever, and we can't wait to return!

Wow! 🤩 We can’t thank all the staff enough for making our honeymoon stay extra special. They went above and beyond for us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐆Safari: Our Ranger (Jordan) and Tracker (Amu) really smashed it on all of our game drives. We managed to see the Big Five. Despite the weather on 2 game drives being so wet we still had so much fun! Jordan is really knowledgeable and passionate about all the animals in the Sabi Sands reserve and a real asset to the team. 🏘️ Lodge: Marelize and Carmen are so warm, kind and enthusiastic. They really made us feel so special. We can’t thank them enough! 🙌🏽 We stayed in the luxury lodge and it was really spacious and clean. Housekeeping was on an exceptional level. Every time we left for game drives they would clean our rooms including turn down service. 🍽️ Food: The food was great, tasty and generous portions. Lots of thought goes into the menu including accommodating dietary requirements with good variety. The chef and staff involved are fantastic. We would like to thank all the staff behind the scenes that really makes this place truly beautiful. Highly recommend and will be coming back with our families some day! 😊

4.5 ⭐ I'll start with the positive. The service is outstanding, especially when it comes to the safari experience they offer - special mention to Jordan Nell which satisfied all our wishes (he made us see all the big 5) and made our safari experience truly unique. We were lucky enough to share the experience with few exquisite people as well and the jeep was not too crowded, which for me was a plus (we were 5 to 6 in total). Carmen, the manager, was very caring and the full staff always making sure we were good. The pictures I've taken and the experience I've lived out in the bush worth it every rand. Now, there's something that I think might be improved, especially considering the price they ask. Rooms need maintenance and privacy is not there... toilet has open ceiling and showers are all without a proper door. Generally the toilet was the worst part of the room and to be honest not a 4 stars hotel standard. Pillows a bit uncomfortable as well. Appreciated all the little attentions like the complimentary cookies, the poetries, the sweets left on the bed. Again, the service is great but the rooms are not matching the level. Pools are nice to see but I won't get in... too dirty for my standards. Food is ok - sometimes super good sometimes less... I would suggest to provide more choices, especially at dinner. This said, I highly recommend this lodge as I think game drives and services are the strongest highlights.

We had the most amazing 2 night stay at elephant Plains. All the staff were amazing right from our first checkin. Game drives were amazing. Jordan our guide along with tracker Dumi did a fantastic job in making sure we got the most from every single drive. Jordan is a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer all questions thrown at him with so much confidence. The food was very tasty and the entire team made our stay a memorable one.

We had an incredible family safari at Elephant Plains Game Lodge in Sabi Sand last August, and although we didn’t get the chance to post our review at the time, the experience has stayed with us. The game viewing was absolutely incredible — every drive brought something new and exciting, and we felt so lucky to experience the wildlife up close in such a beautiful setting. A special thank you to Jordan, our guide, and Deon, our tracker, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and sharp eyes made every sighting even more meaningful. They turned each drive into a learning adventure and created memories we’ll always treasure. The food was excellent, and the warm hospitality from all the staff made us feel right at home. We loved it so much that we returned again this year — and we’ll share that experience in a separate review!
