Sabi Sand for a honeymoon

Sabi Sand is one of the best choices for a honeymoon.

Suitability: ★★★★★

Sabi Sand is a group of adjoining private reserves on Kruger's western boundary, with no fence between them. Visits are based on private lodges and guided drives rather than self-drive.

Why Sabi Sand for a honeymoon?

• Open spaces and quiet camps give more privacy.
• Luxury and private lodging options are available.

What awaits you in Sabi Sand

• Unfenced border with Kruger of about 50 km
• Well known for leopard sightings
• Open-vehicle drives with a ranger and tracker
• Off-road tracking permitted under lodge rules
• Private lodges with limited vehicle numbers

Wildlife you may encounter: lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, white rhino, buffalo, giraffes and zebras.

Suggested time on the ground: 3 to 4 days. Guests usually fly to Kruger Mpumalanga International or Skukuza and transfer by road to their lodge, or take light-aircraft flights to airstrips inside the reserve.

When to go

The best period overall is June to September.

The dry winter offers the best viewing; early mornings and nights are cold on open vehicles, so pack warm layers.
