Singita Boulders
Kruger National Park, South Africa
Luxury holidays in Sabi Sand Game Reserve
Located to the south of famed Kruger National Park, visitors to Sabi Sand Game Reserve may spot at least one of the Big Five a day: leopards race across the plains, lions snooze in the long grass, and elephants, Cape buffalo and black rhino congregate by the watering hole. There are no fences between the parks, so wildlife stroll freely across the expansive plains. Expect a pristine natural setting, lots of fresh air and a peaceful night’s sleep – punctuated by the odd growl or trumpet. With reds, oranges, yellows and pinks bleeding into one another, the sunsets are as spectacular as the wildlife here.
