Sabi Sands Game Reserve is widely regarded as the finest wildlife viewing destination in Africa and the undisputed world champion for leopard sightings. Sharing an unfenced border with Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands offers exclusive, low-density safari experiences with off-road driving capabilities that Kruger doesn't allow. Your day begins with a dawn game drive led by an expert tracker-guide team. The afternoon drive extends into golden hour when leopards emerge. Between drives, enjoy a gourmet lunch at a luxury lodge. This is safari at its absolute pinnacle.

Dry winter (May-Sep) is best — animals concentrate at rivers and waterholes.

What to Bring

  • Camera with long lens
  • Binoculars
  • Warm layers (pre-dawn is cold)
  • Neutral clothing
  • Sunscreen

Insider Tips

  • Sabi Sands leopard sighting rates exceed 90% — you will almost certainly see one
  • The off-road capability means you can follow animals deep into the bush — impossible in Kruger
  • Dawn drives regularly find leopards with kills in trees
