Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Sabi Sand Game Reserve is located adjacent to the Kruger National Park in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga, South Africa and within easy travelling distance from Johannesburg.

The Sabi Sands offers excellent wildlife viewing all year round. However, some travellers prefer the autumn and winter months (March through August) as the bush is less dense, resulting in better visibility for wildlife viewing. Autumn and winter is also the dry season and with the resulting lack of water, wildlife are inclined to visit waterholes more often. In spring and summer months (September through February) the reserve is teeming with life (with flora and fauna at their most spectacular): this is the season that you will see many new-born animals.

Some of the mammals to be seen in the Sabi Sands include Aardvark, African Wild Cat, Chacma Baboon, Bushbuck, Buffalo, Lesser Bushbaby, Caracal and Cheetah.

With more than 300 bird species on its list, Sabi Sands is a great birding destination, Notable Birds in Sabi Sands include the following the common ones Bateleur, Black-bellied bustard, Burchell’s coucal, Comb duck and Red-billed oxpecker. In spring and summer months (September through February) offers excellent birding opportunities
