About Sabi Sand Game Reserve
The Sabi Sand is a 65,000-hectare private reserve on Kruger's south-western boundary, unfenced from the park since the 1990s, and the most celebrated leopard territory in Africa: generations of habituated leopards along the Sand and Sabie rivers have made close, calm sightings routine. It is Big Five, lodge-only, with guided open-vehicle drives that can go off-road and continue after dark, and it is where the country's best-known safari lodges sit. It is inside the malaria area, best in the dry winter months, and it can be reached by road from Hazyview or by scheduled flight to its airstrips.
