"The Land of the Leopard"

The Sabi Sands is one of Africa’s most iconic private game reserves, renowned worldwide for its exclusivity, wildlife density, and pioneering role in luxury safari. Established in the 1940s by a group of private landowners, the reserve shares an unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park, allowing animals to roam freely across vast tracts of wilderness.

​

The Sabi Sands is renowned for offering some of the most rewarding game viewing in Africa. Guests can look forward to close encounters with the Big Five, with the reserve especially celebrated for its remarkable leopard sightings, considered among the best in the world. Morning and evening game drives, guided walking safaris, and night drives reveal the full spectrum of life in the bush, from apex predators to delicate birdlife, nocturnal animals, and seasonal movements that shape the wilderness.

What sets Sabi Sands apart is the intimacy of its safaris. With private traversing rights, guides and trackers can follow wildlife off-road, creating unrivalled photographic and viewing opportunities. Game drives are limited in vehicle numbers, ensuring encounters remain exclusive and unhurried. Evening sundowners in remote locations and fireside dinners under the stars capture the romance and rhythm of life in the bush.
