Day by day

The journey, one day at a time

01Skukuza → Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Into Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Out at first light.

Arrive in Sabi Sand Game Reserve, met and transferred to your accommodation. In Kruger you stay on the road and watch from a distance. In Sabi Sand the vehicle goes to the leopard, off-road, with a tracker reading the sand. <strong>That access, plus decades of habituation, is why the big-cat viewing here is in a class of its own</strong> — and why it costs what it does.

When to travel

The season changes what you see.

May – Sep

Dry-season bush

Prime bushveld safari — sparse cover, game at water, cool and clear. The Cape is wetter, but the whales are in.

Nov – Mar

Green summer & the Cape

Lush bush with newborns and migrants; peak, dry, sunny season for Cape Town, the coast and the winelands.
