Explore Sabi Sands Reserve

The best time to visit Sabi Sands Reserve is during the dry season from May to September when the weather is mild and dry, making it easier to spot wildlife. This is also the peak season when game drives on a Sabi Sands safari are at their best, and visitors can witness the Big Five game animals – lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants, and buffalos. 

To get the most out of your Sabi Sand luxury safari we recommend that travelers first consult with a travel expert at Premier Africa to discuss our luxury Sabi Sands safari packages.

Sabi Sands Reserve is known for its diverse wildlife, and visitors can expect to spot a range of species, from small mammals to big game. The reserve is particularly famous for its high concentration of leopards, which are regularly spotted during game drives. Other wildlife commonly seen in Sabi Sands include the remainder of the Big Five (lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinoceroses), as well as cheetahs and wild dogs.

Sharing its namesake with the Big Five, the lesser known Little Five also resides at Sabi Sands and includes the Ant Lion, Elephant Shrew, Buffalo Weaver, Rhinoceros Beetle, and Leopard Tortoise. Among the more common big game species, there is certainly a wealth of remarkable smaller creatures to discover and appreciate here, from diverse birdlife to strange insects and small game.

At Premier Africa we ensure that our Sabi Sands safari packages include ample opportunities to view all the animals in the park.
