Sabi Sand seems to have a really high density of animals without a lot of other vehicles. It's so nice to be able to go off-road in pursuit of the big 5, and I think that that makes for better sightings of things like leopards on the move who aren't going to stay next to the roads. I also like the open-air vehicles and the fact that there were only ever a max of 3-4 vehicles at a sighting. Our traverse area was relatively small but it didn't feel limiting. Being able to leave the vehicle for a sundowner was very nice and one of the highlights of the experience.

The wildlife is beautiful and amazing. We got to see all the Big Five and breathtaking scenery. The accommodations were wonderful, as were the meals. Our guides were awesome and did everything to make the drivers perfect.

We not only saw all of the animals but we also saw babies of almost all the animals! And our safari drives were not long or arduous. We generally saw a lot of animals on every 3 hour drive. Sabi Sands weakness was they did not have lion prides and the rhinos did not have horns. Sabi Sand strengths were it had a lot of leopards and hippos.

Incredible sightings everyday, beautiful landscapes, saw big five, up and close with the animals on every drive!
Part of the greater kruger area and not fully enclosed reserve, with antipoaching efforts underway making it a great choice for folks interested in conservation and the protection of these beautiful animals!

It was the best safari I have been on and I have been to Kenya, Tanzania and Kruger before. (not been to Okavango Delta yet, which is probably the pinnacle), but it is the first time I really experienced interaction between all the animals in the bush over a number of days. A lot of drama unfolded.

Very experienced spotters that make sure you have the best experience. If you want to see big 5 up close, the Sabi Sand Private Game Reverse does an amazing job of seeing them up close, however due to their focus on the big 5 you might not stop to see some smaller wildlife on the drives.

The bush is very friendly to navigate, which allows you to see the animals easily.
