Luxury Experience at Sabi Sands Private Game Reserves

Wild Luxury in Sabi Sands: The Private Jewel of Kruger Park

The private game reserves of Sabi Sands, located alongside the iconic Kruger National Park, embody the pinnacle of luxury travel in Africa: exclusivity, elegance, and untamed nature.

Luxury Experience at Sabi Sands Private Game Reserves

A destination where luxury meets wildlife

Sabi Sands is a collection of world-class private reserves situated on the western edge of Kruger Park in South Africa. With restricted access and ultra-luxurious accommodations, this natural sanctuary attracts discerning travelers seeking personalized safari experiences, gourmet cuisine, world-class spas, and lodgings with the most breathtaking views of the African wilderness.

A legacy of conservation and exclusivity

Founded in the 1950s by landowners committed to conservation, Sabi Sands was the first private reserve to allow photographic safaris. Thanks to decades of protection, its wildlife is so accustomed to vehicles that close encounters with the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant) are nearly guaranteed. This history makes Sabi Sands a benchmark in sustainable luxury tourism.
