Private Kruger & Sabi Sands Luxury Fly-In Day Safari
From Johannesburg to Big Five in 90 Minutes
About This Tour
For those who want the ultimate safari experience without the long road transfer, this luxury fly-in safari delivers the Big Five in a single extraordinary day.
**The journey begins** with a scenic 90-minute charter flight from Johannesburg directly to the Sabi Sands airstrip, landing in the heart of Big Five territory. A private guide meets you at the airstrip with a chilled welcome drink and whisks you to your exclusive game drive vehicle.
**The morning drive** explores the private Sabi Sands Reserve β world-famous for the best leopard sightings on the planet, and home to huge lion prides, elephant herds, and rare white rhino. Unlike Kruger's public roads, the private reserve allows off-road driving, meaning your guide can follow animals into the bush for once-in-a-lifetime close encounters.
At midday, retire to a **5-star safari lodge** for a gourmet bush lunch on the deck overlooking a waterhole β watch elephants drinking while you dine on locally sourced cuisine paired with South African wines.
**The afternoon drive** targets the golden hour when predators are most active. Your ranger will use tracker teams on foot to locate big cats before positioning the vehicle for perfect viewing. As the sun sets over the bushveld, enjoy a signature bush sundowner before your evening flight back to Johannesburg.
This is the same calibre of safari that celebrity guests and heads of state experience β now available as a day trip.
