Together with the northern sector, the Sabi Sands Reserve spans 65,000 hectares and has become known as one of the finest wildlife areas in South Africa. Named after the two rivers that run across its vast terrain, the Sabi and the Sand, the reserve has plenty to keep its four-legged residents happy. It also shares a fenceless border with the Kruger National Park so animals can move freely across miles of land. In the south, many of the lodges are set along the rivers, making game drives and bush walks even more spectacular. The reserve is particularly well known for its incredible big cat sightings, especially leopards who enjoy the trees along its rivers as cool hiding spots. You can also look forward to an impressive display of birdlife from eagles to the tiniest kingfisher. In the south, the lodges (all of the luxurious kind!) enjoy a sense of exclusivity in their activities and you’re unlikely to see other visitors whilst out and about.
