More About Sabi Sand Game Reserve

The Sabi Sand Wildtuin (Game Reserve) is renowned for its exclusive private safari lodges. The reserve, lying adjacent to Kruger National Park, is collectively owned and managed and covers an area of 153,000 acres. There are no fences dividing Sabi Sand and Kruger, allowing the prolific concentrations of wildlife to roam freely between the two.

Sabi Sand is home to dozens of private lodges, including the famous Mala Mala and Londolozi. Some of the lodges cover relatively small areas of land, but have traversing rights over neighboring properties, allowing all of them to offer superb game viewing experiences and hence outstanding opporunities to capture Sabi Sand Safari Pictures.

The safari guides in the open game viewing vehicles are in radio contact, so the chances of exceptional wildlife sightings are greatly increased. No more than three vehicles are allowed at any one location, which ensures there is no overcrowding or putting the animals under undue stress.

Visitors to Sabi Sand are virtually guaranteed of seeing the "Big Five" -- lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and Cape buffalo -- and the area is particularly renowned for viewing and photographing leopards. These spectacular cats are solitary, secretive and nocturnal, so normally very difficult to see.

All the Sabi Sand Safari Pictures above were taken while staying at Elephant Plains Game Lodge, a small, family-owned establishment that offers spectacular wildlife viewing plus excellent food and accommodation at prices a lot more affordable than the ultra luxurious lodges such as Djuma, Leopard Hills, Londolozi, Mala Mala, Sabi Sabi, and Singita.
