About Sabi Sands Game Reserve
The Sabi Sand is the birthplace of the South African luxury safari and, above all, the leopard capital of the world: generations of habituated leopards here treat vehicles as scenery, giving guests hunting, mating and cub sightings that exist almost nowhere else. Sharing a 50 km unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park, its famous lodges, worked by elite guide-and-tracker teams, may follow big cats off-road, walk you through the bush and finish with dinner under the stars. If one reserve defines the polished Big Five experience, this is it.
