Our Sabi Sand Safari includes twice-daily game drives in open-air safari vehicles (in Sabi Sand). This is your ticket to the mesmerizing wilderness that is Africa! Explore the magnificent Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve on twice-daily open-air safari vehicle game drives and bush walks. See an array of wild animals including the big 5. Sabi Sand is best known to have the worlds largest leopard population. The accommodation is private and comfortable with maximum 3 persons per room. Rooms have AC and warm water bathrooms. Wifi in the guest areas.

The Daily Experience:

A Sabi Sand afternoon to night drive is enjoyed on arrival, after which a 3-course dinner buffet is enjoyed. Overnight at Umkumbe Safari Lodge (standard room). More expensive rooms increase the price (availability dependent). The superior rooms at Umkumbe Safari Lodge have a veranda overlooking the reserve and outside shower. In fact, should Umkumbe Safari Lodge Riverside not be available, we quote guests on Umkumbe Bush Lodge (a different lodge – which is an en-suite tented camp). Umkumbe Bush Lodge is located very near to Umkumbe Safari Lodge (about 100 m).

Both accommodations have en-suite rooms and air conditioning. Both accommodations utilize back-up power during load shedding.

In Sabi Sand the beds have mosquito nets over. Do not worry about locking your doors at the Sabi Sand lodge, it is safe and you are completely remotely located in an large private game reserve.
