Sabi Sands Game Reserve

Welcome to Sabi Sands Game Reserve—a place where wildlife encounters are intimate, the landscapes are unspoiled, and the safari experience is nothing short of world-class. Sharing an unfenced border with Kruger National Park, this private reserve is famous for some of the most consistent Big Five sightings in all of Africa.

Sabi Sands

Sabi Sands is all about exclusivity. With limited lodges and vast tracts of wilderness, you’re guaranteed an uncrowded, immersive safari. Expert trackers and rangers lead twice-daily game drives, often venturing off-road to bring you closer to the action. Leopards are a particular highlight here—sightings are so frequent, it’s often dubbed the best place on earth to spot them in the wild. Beyond the wildlife, the attention to detail in every lodge—from the warm service to the candlelit dinners under the stars—makes Sabi Sands a deeply personal and unforgettable escape.

Londolozi Private Granite Suites

The lodge is flanked by an extrusion of granite rocks, an effect echoed by the décor’s bold materials and silver, charcoal and elephant grey palette. The suites convey Africa’s raw essence with a contemporary and elegant flavour. A sunset river bar and sunken cocktail lounge are suspended high above the Sand River, where breeding herds of elephants wander over the ancient river ways.
