Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, ecologically and geographically linked to the world famous Kruger National Park, lies in the Sabie Sand Game Reserve. So diverse is its habitat and wildlife that you have an excellent chance of experiencing close encounters with the “Big 5” (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard) as well as six species of cat; 20 species of antelope, several dog-like species including spotted hyena, Cape hunting dog, 2 species of jackal, as well as a variety of smaller mammals such as genet, squirrel, mongoose, civet, honey badger, porcupine and hare. Sabi Sabi boasts the world’s largest land mammal (elephant), tallest (giraffe), fastest (cheetah) and smallest (dwarf shrew) and a wondrous array of some 350 bird species. Botanically, this is a wonderland.

At Sabi Sabi there is a greater variety of plant life than in the whole of Europe. With its unique 10km frontage on the perennial Sabie River, biologically the richest waterway in South Africa, the reserve is blessed with a great diversity of habitat, from acacia woodland to riverine forest. After your early morning game drive in an open Landrover with a game ranger, you enjoy a hearty breakfast. Sit at any of the hides overlooking waterholes or built into tall sycamore fig trees along the banks of the Sabie River or, for the more energetic, go on a bush walk. You will be fascinated by the ranger’s detailed knowledge of various aspects of conservation, ecology and the environment. The bush never sleeps. There are numerous nocturnal hunters and you may be lucky enough to spot a lion or leopard, porcupine or civet. The tracker’s spotlight, scanning the bush, picks up the reflections of the various animals’ eyes. Later in the evening, you return to the Lodge for dinner, heralded by incomparable star-studded African night sky.

The sounds of the animated conversations about your day’s highlights soon join the muted sounds of the bush as you enjoy the finest selection of Cape Vintage wines. The blast of a kudu horn is the invitation to join your ranger in the “boma”, an open-air reed fenced enclosure lit by paraffin lamps, where you will savour a sumptuous bushveld feast.
