Savanna traverses over ten thousand hectares of pristine African bushveld where frequent sightings of Africa's big game occur during early morning, late afternoon or evening game drives.

Frequent sightings of Africa's big game occur during game drives.
Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, cheetah, hippo and crocodile plus a multitude of general game and over 450 bird species may be viewed from the comfort and safety of the open game drive vehicle.

Game drives are conducted by professional and extremely well qualified game rangers and trackers, who are experienced and knowledgeable on all aspects of the bush.

The Sabi Sand Area is renowned for having the best leopard viewing in the world and is known worldwide as " The Land of the Leopard".

A recent report commissioned by the the Cape Leopard Trust stated " The Sabi Sands Reserve is one of the best places on earth to observe leopards in their natural habitat. " Read full report under Conservation and Research.

State of the art landrovers are used for game drives and have been expertly modified to ensure your safety and comfort. To maximize photographic opportunities there are never more than two people in a row on the Landrovers except when guests want more people on the vehicle. This sometimes happens when guests are travelling in a group. The Landrovers can accommodate up to 10 guests if required. There are never more than two vehicles at a sighting except with very relaxed animals in open terrain in which case three vehicles may be allowed at the sighting. The afternoon game drive is purposefully interrupted for sundowners to witness an african sunset, and the absolute peace and quiet of the bush.

Optional walking safaris are conducted daily, in order to experience the beauty and fascination of Africa's flora and fauna.

Bush dinners and bush breakfasts are on request, weather permitting.

Daily trips from the Lodge to the local Shangaan Village and a tour of the scenic Panarama route is offered. These activities are offered during the day and will not affect participation in the daily game drives. (Rates for the above on request).

Game drives are conducted by professional and extremely well qualified game rangers.
