REVIEWS
Conde Nast Traveler (US), Gold List 2011
"The family-owned and-operated lodge occupies 10,000 "absolutely
beautiful" acres. Thatched-roof rooms in hues of maize, burnt
orange, pale green, sky blue, gold, and ivory "are huge and
bright." Outside, on the Sabie River, "animals always wander down
to the water for a drink." Traditional boma dinners centered around
a bonfire come with "the constant calls of hyenas, elephants, and
hippos. It's mind-blowing.""
Conde Nast Traveler (US), Gold List 2009
"Built on the banks of the Sabie River, this property comprising
two lodges and a family camp has "outstanding food and service."
Rooms with fireplaces, plunge pools, and large tubs overlook the
river and are "modern with every conceivable amenity." Take
breakfast on the wooden decks or in the bush after a morning game
drive with "trackers and guides that are so knowledgeable." The spa
offers Vichy shower treatments."
Travel + Leisure
"Settle into your River Lodge suite outfitted in Old African style,
then take advantage of what's included: late-night astronomy
sessions, guided full-moon walks, and lamplit dinners in the bush.
Only one lucky couple per night can experience the landscape in an
outdoor bed elevated above the veld and draped in mosquito netting.
From there, instead of sheep, you can (safely) count animal eyes
reflecting red in the moonlight."
