Sabi Sand Game Reserve – Africa’s Pinnacle Luxury Safari
Sabi Sand Luxury Safari Guide | Beyond Africa Safaris
Overview – Why Sabi Sand Game Reserve is Africa’s Ultimate Safari Destination
The Sabi Sand Game Reserve, often called the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, is South Africa’s most exclusive safari destination. Established over 70 years ago, this 65,000-hectare reserve shares an unfenced border with Kruger National Park, creating one of the richest wildlife corridors in Africa.
Sabi Sand is world-renowned for its leopard population, earning it the title of Leopard Capital of the World. Here, the safari experience goes beyond game drives: enjoy off-road encounters, night safaris, guided bush walks, and intimate lodge settings that aren’t possible in public Kruger.
With luxury lodges like Singita, Londolozi, Lion Sands, Ulusaba, Sabi Sabi, and &Beyond, Sabi Sand is the ultimate safari playground for honeymooners, families, and discerning travellers from the USA, Europe, Australia, and Canada.
