Visit Sabi Sands Where to stay

South Africa · western boundary of Kruger

Sabi Sand, where the fence came down in 1993

Around 65,000 hectares of private land on Kruger's western edge, with no fence between the two since 1993. Roughly forty camps, some of the most expensive beds in Africa, and two numbers that decide your trip: what the lodge charges, and how much ground its vehicles are allowed to drive.
