Situated on the southern section of the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve lies within one of South Africas oldest and best-protected conservancies - the exclusive Sabi Sand Wildtuin.

The natural and unfenced reserve is blessed with a rich bio-diversity of habitat and wildlife, giving visitors an excellent chance of close encounters with the Big Five - rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard - as well as the hundreds of other African animals and birds indigenous to the area.

Three unique 5-star lodges span over a century of safari history, each one designed to honour a particular African era. Selati Lodge projects the ambience of days gone by,
today’s contemporary warmth and spirit is found at Bush Lodge, while Earth Lodge provides a glimpse of tomorrow with its avant-garde design, environmentally sensitive architecture and innovative character.

Suites at all three lodges have full en-suite bathroom and exquisite decor, epitomising luxury and comfort. Superb cuisine is enjoyed on open terraces or under African skies in open-air bomas.

Sabi Sabi game rangers and Shangaan trackers are acknowledged as the best and most highly trained in the region. Under their guidance, game viewing has earned the reserve worldwide acclaim.

A stay at Sabi Sabi is inclusive of accommodation, all meals, game drives, house wines, nature walks and teas. Sabi Sabi holds the AA Accommodation Award for Best Establishment in South Africa, was named one of 50 international hot spots by Conde Naste Traveler (US) and is the 2003 winner of the ASATA / Diners Club Award for Best Game Lodge. Sabi Sabi was also the winner of a 2002 Imvelo Responsible Tourism Award.

Sabi Sabi operates on the belief that a wildlife sanctuary will only survive economic and social pressures by creating employment, earning foreign currency, paying tax and promoting sustainable tourism.

Sabi Sabi policy ensures the support of local and emerging service providers through out-sourcing and procurement; and that its management actively promotes a workplace culture that is based on respect, participation, and performance excellence.

There are 150 staff at Sabi Sabi, all of whom enjoy the benefit of programmes that include adult literacy, English proficiency, business orientation, and HIV/Aids awareness. Sabi Sabi also supports the local community through initiatives such as the Lillydale Environmental Education Centre and other pioneering natural resource management schemes.
