About Sabi Sand Game Reserve
The Sabi Sand Game Reserve which was formed in 1934 and shares 50km of unfenced boundary with the world famous Kruger National Park thrives to be the perfect Luxury African Safari dream destination. This gives the abundant wildlife & BIG 5 game the opportunity to roam around freely and go wherever they wish – but they tend to stay right where they are! The Sand River and Sabi River supply much needed water in the dry season and create an eco-system with one of the highest and most bio-diverse wildlife populations in Southern Africa. The Sabi Sand is one of South Africa’s most prestigious game parks, owing partly to the fact that it has one of the plentiful game populations in the country that includes the Big Five as well as numerous other species. It also offers some of the best sightings of the elusive Leopard.
Game drives offer quality viewing opportunities of the rich wildlife and the ones at night give you the chance to take a peek into the lives of the nocturnal animals in the reserve. Revel in the delights of this premier safari destination and allow yourself to be absorbed by the tranquillity of the area. The magic of Africa will leave its mark on your memory and heart.
