Sabi Sabi is a private game reserve in South Africa, situated in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve which flanks the southwestern section of the Kruger National Park. This 5-day tour is the perfect introduction to the ultimate safari experience.
With 35 years of excellence and four 5-star lodges, Sabi Sabi Game Reserve is an elite safari experience that offers world-class luxury accommodation, exceptional close wildlife encounters, personal service and delicious cuisine.
This 5-day tour is the perfect introduction to an African safari with the option of three different luxury lodges, each representing their motto of " Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow".
Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is a "luxury home in the bush" with a vibrant, warm and traditional ambiance. It is the largest lodge in the reserve and is ideal for families traveling with younger children. The lodge boasts an Elefun Center that keeps young safari explorers busy for several hours.
Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp is a small intimate lodge with only six luxury suites, so perfectly suited for a family, friends traveling together, and honeymooners seeking a secluded romantic getaway.
Sabi Sabi Selati Camp is a classic seven suite vintage style lodge, exhibiting railway history and antique pieces. It is a quiet lodge that is ideal for couples, friends, and honeymooners.
Each of the lodges offer morning and afternoon games led by skilled rangers and trackers. You will venture out into the heart of the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve in open game vehicles where you will be on the lookout for an abundance of wildlife, including the "Big 5" and more than 300 bird species. Known for the big cats, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is sure to delight the avid photographer.
In between game drives you to have the opportunity to visit a local school that Sabi Sabi assists, or partake in a guided bush walk that is sure to heighten your senses.
This tour is the ideal choice for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for the ultimate safari experience.
On arrival, you will be met and transferred to Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. You will have some time to enjoy your luxurious suite and the lodge facilities before venturing out on your first-afternoon game drive in the African bush, seeking out the 'Big 5'.
The advantage of a private reserve is the ability to drive off-road, enhancing each guests safari experience. You will witness your first African sunset and return to the lodge to enjoy a scrumptious dinner served under a canopy of stars.
Over the next three days, your mornings begin very early as you head out on game drive. Animals are more active in the mornings, gathering around waterholes for a drink, making them more visible to the human eye. After approximately three hours, you will return back to the lodge for a buffet breakfast before spending the rest of the morning relaxing in your suite or venturing out on a bush walk or school visit.
In the late afternoon, after some snacks and drinks, you head out on an afternoon game drive that leads into early hours of the evening. Predators are nocturnal, hunting mostly at night, so be sure to look out for some exciting action.
Accommodation: Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge
After a final game drive and warm heartening breakfast, you bid farewell to the African bushveld as you transfer to the airstrip for your flight back home. You may leave with a heavy heart but the experience you have had will stay etched in your memory for a lifetime, igniting a desire to return to Africa.

Mel is friendly and patient
I would usually book my trips myself. Lucky for me I sent off an enquiry to Safari.com and received Mel's wonderful help. Mel responded quickly and made me feel comfortable with Safari.com. organising my trip. Later on, when I realised my dates didn't work with the rest of my trip, Mel gave me my options and costings and rebooked for me. Mel was very patient and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mel again.

Planning Our Family African Safari Experience
Planning our first trip to Africa was a really big deal for us. After careful review of numerous safari planners, we selected safari.com and worked with Nicole Van der Merwe. There's a lot of parts in putting together such a vacation including ground transfers, hotels, activities, and flights. At each step we had numerous questions and Nicole patiently worked through these with professionalism and care to her customers. I would recommend Nicole and safari.com for anyone planning a trip to South Africa.

Seems pointless to book things direct when Safari.com can do it all for you at the same cost
I wasn’t actually planning on leaving a review until after our trip which has been scheduled for March 2025. I wasn’t even planning to use a travel company to assist as we are experienced travellers who are used to booking our own arrangements. The cost of going direct with suppliers and going through Safari.com was exactly the same - with the latter you also have outstanding service and advice which makes it pointless to do it yourself. But I felt compelled to leave a shout out for Leigh-Ann Croeser who has been extremely helpful in organising our itinerary for South Africa. Her response to queries was always prompt and professional. When we ultimately wish to travel to East Africa, I know who I will be contacting.
