Tour Overview

The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is the undisputed leopard capital of the world. Nowhere else on Earth can you virtually guarantee close-up, prolonged leopard sightings in the wild. This 4-day safari is designed specifically for those who want the ultimate leopard experience, combined with exceptional Big Five game viewing in one of Africa's most exclusive private reserves. Private traversing rights across 65,000 hectares of unfenced wilderness (shared with Kruger National Park) mean your ranger can track animals across vast distances without the crowds. The Sabi Sands' legendary leopards are habituated to vehicles, allowing incredibly close encounters that are impossible in national parks.
