Wish I could rate Sausage Tree an 11/10. We had an absolutely magical stay and couldn't have asked for anything more. The lodge is incredible and exactly as pictured. The terrace and pool with the sky deck were so relaxing to sit at during the day - once I even came up for air from a swim and there were 5x giraffes right there - coming to drink at the watering hole right out front. The tents are very nice and well furnished also, we found them spacious and relaxing. The food was also really nice, some really nice meals and we loved eating out under the stars around the fire with our fellow guests. The Balule reserve itself is awesome - it's not as well known or established as some of the other private reserves which is actually great as it's less crowded, but still full of wildlife (we saw lions, leapords, white and black rhinos, hippos, elephants, giraffes, zebra, warthogs, hyena - you get the picture) and beautiful terrain (hills, plains, rivers, watering holes etc.). What really should be mentioned and which is tough to describe though is how incredible the staff is. As it's a smaller lodge (only 5 tents), the staff is really like a family, and each and every one of them we formed a bond with. They were so gracious as hosts and helped us at every point. The owner James is also full of stories and super friendly. Special shout out though of course to Themba (our safari guide) and Jimmy (our tracker) for the amazing game drives every morning and night. We saw and learned so much - but most of all we laughed a TON. Everyone working at the lodge are such great people and we would love to come back one day.

Where do I start… most incredible place I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was INCREDIBLE. We had the best Ranger (Ryan) ever, so full of energy and made our experience one never to forget. The Chef (Henlu) was the nicest guy you could ask for, our butler (Obert) also one to make us smile at every turn and would get every single detail perfect without flaw! We had the best time ever and couldn’t have wished for a better way to finish an amazing Honeymoon. Thank you so much

Impeccable location. Secluded, serene and special. You’re welcomed with open arms and are readily catered to your needs. Take the time to slow down - or else you miss the hidden treasures. Game drives with experienced guides & trackers, and service staff to make the best of each moment. Thank you, team. It was a pleasure.

The overall experience staying here was just amazing. we had booked a full board with Safari's included twice a day. Our guide and tracker were very knowledgeful about the area and helped us spot big 5 in safaris. The food was good, specially the dinner.

Lovely staff, amazing setting, lots of animals right in front of property. Rooms were very comfortable and the level of attention to service was excellent. Guides were awesome.

Everything was perfect! The location, beautiful views, excellent service, great food, fun and beautiful facilities, the best game drives, I can go on and on.

The property was modern, welcoming and beautiful. We loved spending time in the pool. And the hang out spots (bar, restaurant, Boma) were all beautiful.

Fantastic, friendly staff who go out of their way to create a memorable experience. The game drives were brilliant and the food was delicious.

Good place for family stay ! Hotel restaurants are nearby . Very close to the Kruger gate
