Why families love it
Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge for families
The spacious Luxury Villas, with a master bedroom and separate twin room, are an excellent private base for families. While younger guests enjoy the dedicated EleFun Centre, the villa's included private vehicle may permit children under six on game drives, subject to ranger discretion. With private and main lodge pools and its location in a low-risk malaria area, the lodge is well suited to family travel.
