With stars blazing in the reviews of all of its accommodation options as well as in the sky above, Sabi Sands is one of the oldest private game reserves in South Africa. Renowned for its abundance of wildlife, five star services and exclusivity, Sabi is a neighbour to the famous Kruger National Park and thanks to a management programme has no physical borders between the two reserves, meaning there is always a diverse range of animals flowing through. Sabi Sands guests get the full benefit of this with exclusive trackers, guides and drivers to take them on fascinating and unique game drives.

Dinner is always a standout occasion. Hundreds of softly glowing lanterns hang in the trees above you as you sit outdoors awaiting your evening meal.

Always keeping you in mind, the team of chefs at this reserve are happy to amend the menus to any dietary requirements whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or otherwise restricted.
