Tour Features: Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve is an unspoilt part of Africa ecologically and geographically integrated with the adjacent Kruger National Park. It is situated within one of the oldest and largest proclaimed private reserves - the renowned Sabi Sand Wildtuin.
All lodges are unfenced and there are no fences between Sabi and other reserves, allowing wildlife to roam freely and giving guests the ultimate safari experience. Sabi Sabi lies 500 km east of Johannesburg, 800 km north east of Durban and 200 km west of Maputo in Mozambique. It lies on the same latitude as Sao Paulo and Brisbane and the same longitude as Cairo, Istanbul and St.Petersburg.
Huge viewing decks are the idea setting to relax while spotting game, bird watching or cooling off in the filtered pools. Meals, including the wonderful dinners in the open air boma, are heralded by blasts on a kudu horn, a summoning to delicious food.
