The Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa

The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is undoubtedly the most exclusive private game reserve in South Africa. The 65,000-hectare Sabi Sands Game Reserve is located on the south-western corner of the Kruger National Park. There are no restricting fences between the Kruger Park and Sabi Sands and the wildlife roams freely between the two game reserves.

No wildlife safari can be complete without exposure to every facet of life in the bush. Leopards are a main attraction of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and are so accustomed to cars that they do not take much notice of them. Even when hunting, a leopard in the Sabi Sands will not mind a vehicle following it, even if this means following it off-road though the bush.

Some of the best and most exclusive private game lodges in South Africa are in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and the chances of seeing the "Big 5" (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) are excellent.
