The mere mention of the name – The Sabi Sand – will immediately conjure up visuals of exciting predator encounters – lion, leopard, hyena, wild dog, and even cheetah! This Private Game Reserve offers Africa’s most premier big game encounters, especially with the notorious Big 5. It has built such a reputation through incredible guest experiences, dozens of acclaimed wildlife documentaries and a deep history in the safari industry that dates back to the early 1960’s.

The reserve gets its name from its location, finding itself between the Sabie and Sand River systems. It borders the world-famous Kruger National Park and the lack of an actual fence or physical boundary between the Sabi Sand and Kruger means there’s always an influx of wildlife into the private reserve.

Safaris here are special. Each safari camp on this itinerary – both Mala Mala and Sabi Sabi – are private and allow only guests staying at their properties to enjoy the riches of game viewing on offer. Unless you are staying as a visitor at camp, you can’t access these game-rich safari areas. This means you’ll enjoy twice-daily game drives and have as a maximum, 2 – 3 other game viewers in each sighting join you. It allows for less impact on the animals being viewed and means you get to enjoy the experience to the full.

This is a wildlife photographer’s paradise as you get up close and personal with your favourite wild animals.

Come and join us on an exciting safari and go home with photographs and memories to last a lifetime.
