About the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve

The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve is a renowned 65,000-hectare reserve located on the western border of Kruger National Park. It is famous for offering some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. The reserve shares a 50 km-long unfenced border with Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to roam freely between the two areas.

The Sabi Sand Reserve is home to several private lodges, offering guests an exclusive and luxurious experience in the heart of the African bush. Unlike Kruger National Park, the Sabi Sand Reserve is not open to the general public. Staying at one of the lodges here ensures an intimate experience shared with only a few other privileged guests.

The reserve has a remarkable density of wildlife, including over 330 plant species, 45 fish species, 30 amphibian species, 110 reptile species, 500 bird species, and 145 mammal species. Sabi Sand is home to the "Big 5" and is widely regarded as one of the best locations in the world for spotting the elusive leopard.

Ulusaba Rock Lodge is the perfect destination for solo travelers, couples, and families who desire a luxurious Big 5 safari adventure.
