Sabi sabi Game reserve is a grest place and you get to go very close to the animals. The accommodation where we stayed was also perfect. I would however consider going two different places for a safari, combining sabi sabi with another place where there are more water spots where animals gather (especially in winter time) and it is more likely to see for example big herds.

Sabi Sabi has PLENTY of space and like Mala Mala it is unfenced, but because the preserve has less space than Mala Mala, there's only so far the guides can take their guests without encroaching upon someone else's property. Don't worry though. There is NO QUESTION that you will come into very close proximity of all manner of African wildlife, from weaver birds to elephants and from dwarf mongooses to hippopotami . I LOVED my three night stay at Sabi Sabi and I'd recommend the place highly to anyone.

Our safari experience in Sabi Sands was magical. We were at Umkumbe Bush Lodge and it was stunning. The game drives were brilliant and we saw so many beautiful animals. We were really well looked after. Our superior tent was just gorgeous and had everything we needed. The staff were just lovely and couldn't do enough for us, the food was excellent. A truly memorable holiday, would highly recommend.

We saw all the animals we wanted to see and more.
I didn’t see too many birds as in other places but I am extremely happy with our experience.
