Where the wild becomes your world.
Set in the southwestern corner of the world-renowned Kruger National Park, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve spans approximately 65,000 hectares of extraordinary African wilderness. Its 50-kilometre unfenced boundary with Kruger allows wildlife to move freely through the greater ecosystem, while the reserve’s well-habituated animals create remarkable opportunities for close encounters. The region is especially celebrated for its leopard and lion sightings, and the chances of seeing the Big Five are excellent.
Explore the bush on open-vehicle game drives with experienced rangers and trackers, setting out to discover the reserve’s abundant wildlife and the smaller details of the landscape. As daylight fades, night drives offer a different perspective, revealing the nocturnal animals that emerge after dark. Paired with an exceptional collection of luxury private safari lodges, the Sabi Sands offers a deeply immersive wilderness experience — an unforgettable setting for adventure, discovery and time together.
Moments in the African wilderness
Discover the Sabi Sands.
From extraordinary wildlife encounters and guided game drives to intimate bush dinners beneath the African sky, explore a glimpse of the experiences that make a Sabi Sands safari unforgettable.
