South Africa • Wildlife
Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve
The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is situated in the southwestern corner of the world renowned Kruger National Park and consists of 65,000 hectares.
It is the most prestigious game reserve in South Africa and is famous for incredible leopard sightings. With no fences between the farms (or, for that matter, between them and the Kruger National Park), animals wander across vast stretches of grazing land as they have for centuries. With one of the richest game populations in the country, the chances of seeing the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) are excellent.
