Indulge your holiday dreams by choosing the exclusive private Sabi Sand Reserve for your luxury African safari vacation. You will be further spoilt for choice of luxury accommodation options within this Reserve from the upmarket boutique lodges to remote bush camps all located within the Greater Kruger Park wildlife area.
The star of the show here is the leopard, boldly roaming the bush even with game vehicles close by. Of course, the rest of the Big Five are also in abundance as are a multitude of smaller game. And they have had time to settle in as the first conservation efforts on this land began in 1898 when the Reserve was proclaimed including the area now known as the Kruger National Park. In the 1920s when private landowners were excluded from involvement in National Parks, they formed the Sabi Private Game Reserve. Descendents of these early pioneers are still involved with Sabi Sand Reserve today.
Your days will be punctuated by game excursions although you often don’t have to go far to find them as many lodges overlook watering holes attracting game from all around. Unwind around the pool in the heat of the day and make full use of the spa facilities available at many of the lodges to ensure that you get the most out of your African safari vacation. At night head into the bush again a night game drive to spot the more elusive nocturnal creatures of the bush before returning for a fine dining experience under the African sky. You are sure to have many tales to tell around the communal fire every evening.
Choose from family friendly lodges that provide activities for the whole family or select a romantic and very exclusive experience at one of the smaller lodges.
