Over the next three nights, settle into safari life with twice-daily game drives. Safaris start in the early morning and late afternoon as this is the best time to spot wildlife when they are most active. The middle of the day focuses on important rest and relaxation as you enjoy the lodge amenities and the beautiful setting deep within the natural world.
The Sabi Sands is particularly well known for its incredible sightings of the Big 5. In particular, the most elusive animal of the Big 5, the leopard, is frequently spotted on game drives and the Sabi Sands is perhaps the best place to find this magnificent cat in the world.
