You’ll be spoiled for choice on your honeymoon at Sabi Sands Game Reserve

Known as one of the most famous private game reserves and neighbour to South Africa’s crown jewel the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands Game Reserve offers guests a safari experience like no other in the world. Enjoy your chance to see the Big Five, luxurious accommodation to suit any taste, spectacular views and bird watching galore.

Sabi Sands Game Reserve was previously agricultural land. Due to all the cattle that appeared in the area, there was a great need for a reliable water source on the farms. In order for this water to be provided, boreholes had to be drilled to ensure that there was a steady supply of water. Years after Sabi Sands Game Reserve was established, all the boreholes that were drilled are still in perfect working condition. They now provide not only the cattle on surrounding farms with water but also all the wildlife on the game reserve, making Sabi Sands a prevalent place for great herds of animals.

Sabi Sands Game Reserve is home to many different lodges that all have something unique to offer. Some are luxurious, while others are simplistic and very affordable. The best part about Sabi Sands accommodation rates is the fact that all meals and safari activities are included.
