Sabi Sands Wildtuin
Kruger National Park, South Africa
The Sabi Sands area has been an area of conservation and protection of big game since the inception of the original Sabie Game Reserve in 1898.
An association of private landowners, the modern Sabi Sand Wildtuin (reserve) shares an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park, and has the very rare and fortunate distinction of two perennial rivers in a relatively small area.
Wildlife of Sabi Sands
The resulting riverine bushveld is an absolute haven for leopard: you would be unlucky not to see at least one a day. The reserve also plays host to the four other members of the Big Five, lion, rhino, elephant and buffalo, as well as cheetah and the occasional wild dog pack from the Kruger Park.
As there has been no hunting in the area for generations, the animals are very comfortable with the human presence, and this makes for superb game sightings. Put simply, there is no better place in the world for viewing the Big Five in their natural habitat.
