About Sabi Sabi

Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve has been at the forefront of sustainable luxury safari tourism since 1979. Located in the southern Sabi Sand, it shares a 50km unfenced border with Kruger National Park, creating one of Africa's richest wildlife corridors.

What makes Sabi Sabi extraordinary is the diversity of its four lodges. Earth Lodge is an architectural masterpiece — built entirely underground with living roofs and LED-lit walls, it was the world's first five-star "invisible" lodge. Selati Camp channels colonial romance with antique railway memorabilia. Little Bush Camp offers intimate exclusivity. And Bush Lodge is the vibrant family favourite with a contemporary African design.

With Shangaan trackers whose bushcraft expertise has been passed down through generations, Sabi Sabi delivers game drives that feel less like tourist activities and more like personal wildlife revelations. The rich predator population — including leopards, lions, and wild dogs — ensures that every drive holds the promise of something extraordinary.
