Sabi Sands Game Reserve

Fully inclusive lodges

The Sabi Sand Wildtuin (more usually called the Sabi Sands Game Reserve) is the most famous and well established of the private reserves which adjoin the western boundary of the Kruger National Park.

Thornybush Game Reserve Klaserie Game Reserve Timbavati Game Reserve Manyeleti Sabi Sand Game Reserve Thornybush Game Reserve Kapama Game Reserve Balule Nature Reserve Klaserie Game Reserve Timbavati Game Reserve Manyeleti Sabi Sand Game Reserve The 65,000 hectare reserve is home to some of the finest safari lodges in South Africa, and offers possibly the best game viewing opportunities to be found anywhere on the African continent - especially for the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) - indeed, the reserve has one of the highest concentrations of leopard in the world. 

With no fences between the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and Kruger, the animals are free to roam unhindered over in excess of 2 million hectares.

Because the land is privately owned the experienced guides and trackers are able to follow the animals off-road in order to get closer to the wildlife than is generally possible in Kruger itself.

The lodges all offer a fully inclusive rate, which generally includes all your meals, your accommodation, and morning and afternoon guided safari drives in open Land Rovers.

Many lodges also offer an optional morning bush walk with a guide, and some include all your drinks as well.
