Sabi Sands Lodges Reservations proudly offers a free reservation service to all safari lodges in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve & Kruger National Park. Sabi Sand Nature Reserve is Africa's most sought place to experience a big five safari with accommodation options catering to all types of guests. Private and exclusive, the game reserve is situated in the southwestern corner of the world-famous Kruger National Park, the reserve covers an area of approximately 65 000 (sixty-five thousand) hectares which is about 650 square kilometers (almost the same size as Singapore). Sabi Sands game reserve is known for incredible close up wildlife sightings including Africa's "Big Five" - Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino & Cape Buffalo.

The Sabi Sands private reserve dates back to 1898 which makes it the oldest private game reserve in South Africa. Throughout the years there were many changes made to the boundaries of Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sands game reserve.  In 1993 the fences between Kruger park and the Sabi Sands game reserve were removed which allowed wildlife to move freely between Kruger park and the Sabi Sands. The game rich reserve offers amazing sightings of leopards and close encounters with Africa's top predators including lion, cheetah, and Cape hunting wild dog.

Don't just go on a Kruger National Park safari, experience the magic of the Sabi Sand nature reserve and follow wildlife wherever they go. Unlike game drives in the Kruger National Park, safari guides and rangers in the Sabi Sand are permitted to drive off-road and follow the animals so you may get up close to Africa's amazing wildlife.

SABI SANDS LODGES REVIEW!

five stars
"Our visit to Sabi Sands was the best wildlife experience we ever had. We've been on safari to Kenya & Tanzania last year, however there is nothing like a safari in the Sabi Sands game reserve! The close proximity & the variety of wildlife are incredible. Our guide was amazing, we saw rhino, elephant, buffalo, many lions and a few leopards. We are already planning our next visit. One piece of advice....spend at least 4 or 5 nights so you can appreciate your safari experience in the Sabi Sands game reserve."

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.

From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.

Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.

Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.

We’ve have just come back from a 3 night stay at earth lodge. One word incredible. We got to see the big 5 and a lot more animals. The game drives were amazing. The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great. The service and operational standards at this hotel are exceptional. I would 100% stay at this lodge again it was such an incredible experience
