Private Game Reserve Safaris in the Heart of Big Five Country

Discover the Magic of the Wild:
Sabi Private Game Reserve

The Sabi Game Reserve is located within the Sabi Sand Reserve, which is a part of the Greater Kruger National Park. These two reserves are connected by a 50 km boundary that is unfenced, allowing wildlife, including the Big Five to roam freely between them.

The Sabi Game Reserve is renowned for its outstanding wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for spotting leopards. Additionally, the ability to traverse off-road enhances the quality of sightings, especially of the well-habituated Resident predators.
