01Day 1

Day 1

Experience your First Afternoon Game Drive

Begin your journey in Johannesburg with a flight from OR Tambo International Airport to Skukuza Airport also known as the gateway to the Kruger National Park. You will be met and transferred to the Leopard Hills in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. After settling into your luxurious suite and having a sumptuous lunch, you will gear up for your first of many adventures in the Sabi Sands. Darkness brings about a time of both danger and respite in the bush which allows you to possibly spot smaller carnivores like genets or civets not usually seen by day. This is also the time when most predators hunt so your evening game drive could potentially be the most exciting of all. No dinner will ever be the same at Leopard Hills, from dining under the stars in the traditional boma to fine silver service dinners in the dining room, or out on the upper deck where a cool breeze is a welcome relief from the African heat. The perfect end to a wonderful safari experience.

Game Drives, Walking Trails & Relaxation

Enjoy rewarding game viewing on morning and afternoon drives as you explore this striking and dramatic wildlife reserve for the Big Five and hosts of other classic African animals. The Sabi Sands is a private game reserve, which means morning and afternoon / late evening drives, guided bush walks and off-roading for up-close views of Sabi's legendary wildlife are just some of the advantages you will be privy to. Those with a passion for wildlife photography will be able to get various tips from their ranger on taking the perfect picture, while on their game drive or walking safari. The rangers are avid fans of photography and many of them have entered renowned international and local competitions Relaxation is important between game drives, facilities at your lodge include luxury suites with their own sundeck and plunge pool, cool down on the open-air verandah with an ice-cold drink, or a refreshing swim in the main swimming pool. You can also treat yourself to a massage at the spa.
