Nkorho Bush Lodge, Sabi Sands Game Reserve

4.7 (3 reviews) · Comfort
Homely safari lodge with thatched chalets, traditional boma dining, and a rock pool with views of the bush

Overview

Located in the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, Nkorho Bush Lodge shares an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park, providing guests with the opportunity to witness the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants, and buffaloes). The lodge seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces with oversized doorways and high wooden roofs. Whether you're lounging by the pool under the hot afternoon sun or dining underneath the stars by candlelight, you can take in the beautiful setting with expansive bush views.  

If you choose Nkorho Bush Lodge for your safari accommodation, you'll stay in a stylish yet homely thatched chalet with air-conditioning. Each chalet has warm, inviting decor with area rugs, throw blankets, vibrant pillows, and photographs of the wildlife you'll likely encounter on your trip. Rooms are spacious with high wooden roofs and private furnished patios that extend your living area outdoors where you can enjoy bush views. Some lodging options include mosquito nets for the beds and fireplaces. While all accommodation options include a large walk-in shower and double sinks, some rooms have separate soaking tubs.

Nkorho Bush Lodge includes two daily game drives with coffee and rusks in the morning and a sundowner drink in the afternoon or evening. As an overnight guest, you also have the opportunity to go on daily guided bush walks. After a day of exploring, relax in the rock pool or enjoy a massage or spa treatment. When it's time for dinner, experience typical African cuisine served around an open fire in a traditional leadwood boma, plus a comprehensive selection of wines from the lodge's cellar while the staff performs local dances.

Furnishings were a bit more economical compared to Thabamati, but still clean and functional. The A/C unit in the room was greatly appreciated. Read more

We were treated to a dance performance by some of the staff our 2nd night.

If you want to see a lot of animals, you will be thrilled.
Staff
The staff were very friendly - the hosts and guides dine with you at night, and we had a great time drinking at the bar and chatting after dinner on our 2nd night.
Cleanliness & Comfort
We really could've used a welcome mat at the entrance to our room/tent, as our shoes got quite sandy on the game drives, and we couldn't help but track that into our space. Each day, I smacked my shoes together outside the room to get the dirt out.
