Destination Overview

The Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve offers a luxury South African safari experience, combining unrivalled Big Five game viewing and the best safari lodges in South Africa.

Add exceptional service and hospitality, and fine cuisine, to this already incredible experience and you have a luxury South African safari that will linger in your memories forever. The Kruger National Park is Africa's colossus in terms of game viewing. If it were stretched and moulded, its borders could fit precisely over the whole of Israel. Its massive territories divide the reserve into five ecosystems. Hotels in the Kruger National Park are positioned along every tier of luxury, from laid back camping grounds to five star resort hotels.

During a holiday to the Kruger National Park, dining experiences should be tightly woven around the wildness of the terrain and its beasts. If the reserve were a country, its national dish would be a trio of ostrich, springbok and warthog ribs grilled on the braai and served with a fine Cape merlot. South Africa's most popular cooking method is barbecuing and every chef, whether amateur or studded with Michelin stars, has his own secret basting recipe. In fact, the most traditional way for visitors to enjoy a meal is around a Weber braai on their own hotel porch. For your viewing pleasure, find restaurants that seat you at a table overlooking a watering hole. Here, your dining experience will be accompanied by visions of ambling creatures gathering for their evening thirst quencher.

Every level of luxury exists in hotels in The Kruger National Park. Skukuza rest camp is a favourite amongst local holiday makers because of the diversity of its accommodation choices and attractions. Here, Kruger National Park holidays can be enjoyed close to the bush from a safari tent, or in casual riverside bungalows. Locals in the know choose their camps in accordance with the type of game that resides in their surrounding regions. Skukuza's nearby ecosystems are frequently graced by leonine visitors. The camp acts as the ideal base from which to spot all of the Big Five. For avid golfers, the rest camp offers a nine hole course, and escorted safaris provide foreigners with the professional skills of guides who not only track animals but educate visitors about them too.  Those in the hunt for a certain distance from the wilderness and its erratic tendencies can seek out more a more luxurious hotel in the Kruger National Park. Private reserves that fall on both sides of the park's borders offer premium accommodation with tailored safaris complete with champagne breakfasts, packaged itineraries and first world amenities.

The pure, unspoiled enormity of the reserve supports five diverse ecosystems, each with its own brand of magnificence. Lush jungle habitats are rare in the park, but the Mphongolo River's watery surroundings support one of the lushest vegetations in the reserve. Knobthorns and apple leaf trees gather in clusters around the riverbed. The looped trail that runs between Punda Maria and Shingwedzi is populated by lion, elephant, buffalo and leopard. The Central region is the home of half of the reserve's lion population. It is also one of the rare ecosystems habituated by cheetah. Its abundance of tasty browsing treats makes it popular territory for zebra and giraffe. The Far North Region is the black sheep of the park's ecosystem because its tropical forests and eerie sandstone formations are unheard of in other regions. Riverine forests and river banks are ideal territory for avid birders. The Northern region is renowned for its unusual flora, which includes Coral, chestnut and fever berry trees. Leopards are the most numerous predators in this zone, which is home to the park's more timid dassies and klipspringer. The sparse white rhino population is most commonly spotted near Sabie and the Mbyamiti River.

Most visitors to Kruger fly into Johannesburg. From there you can take a connecting flight to Nelspruit Airport/Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP) in Nelspruit which is the gateway to the most accessible and popular southern sector of the Kruger Park. Alternatively, you can fly to Hoedspruit for the central and northern sections or Palaborwa for the northern section. It is also possible to hire a car in Johannesburg and drive to the park. The park has 9 entrance gates, the closest of which are in the south between 420km and 500km from Johannesburg. The drive takes between 3.5-4.5 hours.
