Fantastic
The best experience ever. We were lucky enough to see a lot and found our rangers and tracker very competent

A beautiful reserve with an amazing wildlife
We really enjoyed our safari at Sabi Sands. First of all, in only two days, we managed to see the Big Five, plus a variety of other animals (antelopes, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, hippopotamus). The weather was nice, dry, a bit cold in the morning and night as it is supposed to be at this period of the year (winter). We stayed at Umkumbe Lodge, a human sized, owner run lodge, which really makes you feel at ease. Guides and staff were helpful and friendly, dinners around the camp fire were excellent and the sundowners in the middle of nowhere are a must. The situation along the Sand river allows you to watch the wildlife coming to the river just from your room.

Very beautiful. Nice that it was allowed to drive off road. It made the game drive more authentic.

For all of the same reasons I listed above, people are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, the animals are right there, the accommodations are lovely, and the food and wine are delicious. I will return if I can make the opportunity arise.

The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is privately owned, which makes it more attractive from my point of view. You can get VERY close to the animals and the guides are allowed to go offroad, so if you spot an anmial, you can follow it! Unlike in the Kruger Park, where you need to stay on the roads. Also, there are not many people in this reserve - this is the real bush vibe from :-)

Sabi Sands is probably one of the most incredible places to see wildlife in the world. We have seen a couple of leopards about 2m of the car... Probably the place in the world where you will have the highest chance to see this elusive feline... Also, you can get very close to hyenas, rhinos, elephants and several birds...
