About the Game Reserve
Sabi Sands game reserve, regarded by many as the "birthplace" of sustainable wilderness tourism and development in Sub-Saharan Africa, is understood by guests and staff to be a place of wilderness, wildlife and adventure. Home to an extensive cross-section of the Mpumalanga wildlife population, including the
Big Five and various endangered species, the park also shares 50 kilometers of its unfenced boundary line with neighbouring Kruger National Park. Animals pass casually between the two parks, unhindered and abundant.
A chief attraction to the reserve is its leopard population, so accustomed to cars and onlookers that they barely react to their presence. This makes for stunning and candid viewing while they hunt, vehicles maintaining close following distances, even off road.
The oldest private game reserve in South Africa, formed in 1934, this 65,000-hectare is also a constituent of the largest conservation area in Southern Africa.
