Sabi Sand is Brimming with the most spectacular wildlife sightings.
Sharing unfenced borders in the south-western corner of the world-renowned Kruger National Park is the privately owned Sabi Sand Game Reserve. With wildlife moving freely between the Kruger and the Sabi Sands, guests are afforded an equal opportunity of seeing the Kruger's diverse wildlife, including the famous Big Five (Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard).
The Sabi Sands is renowned for its big cat sightings, particularly the elusive leopard, and is internationally recognized for its selection of luxury safari accommodation, fewer crowds, off-road game drives that allow guides to follow animals into the bush, and spot-lit night safaris. The success of the Sabi Sands is greatly due to the abundance of waterholes that provide water throughout the year, attracting large herds of animals and predators.
The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is one of Africa's ultimate safari destinations and is ideal for those travelers who prefer an all-inclusive vacation where safari activities and meals are included during their stay.
The Sabi Sands is relatively small compared to the Kruger. There are entry level lodges with the likes of Umkembe all the way up to world class 5-star experiences at places like MalaMala and Leopard Hills.
Winter, ie. May till October is cool and dry, and you have the easiest game viewing since trees have lost their leaves. But December to April mean beautiful, vibrant scenery and baby animals.

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!

Incredibly helpful and experienced agent Anja
Anja was incredibly helpful and organized the most beautiful safari for us at a small lodge and also arranged our transport.
