5-Day Ultimate Fly-In Luxury Sabi Sand Safari

The journey

About this itinerary.

This 5-star luxury safari experience takes place in the renowned Sabi Sands Game Reserve, which shares an unfenced border with Kruger National Park. Your stay includes two nights at the ultra-exclusive Savanna Private Game Reserve and two nights at Dulini River, where you will enjoy breathtaking views, exceptional wildlife encounters, and unparalleled luxury. Your journey offers exceptional Big Five sightings, fine cuisine, and world-class accommodation.

Day 1: Arrival at Savanna Private Game Reserve

Upon landing in Johannesburg, you will embark on your complimentary flight to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Once there, a private transfer will take you to Savanna Lodge.

Settle into your luxurious Executive Suite, styled with an elegant “Out of Africa” ambiance. The suite features a private deck, heated plunge pool, and an open-air shower for a truly relaxing stay. Enjoy a gourmet lunch at the lodge before heading out on your first afternoon game drive. Savor sundowners as the African sun paints the horizon. Afterward, return to the lodge for a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars, featuring authentic South African cuisine with an international twist.

Day 2: Discovering Savanna Private Game Reserve

Wake up early for coffee and set off on a morning game drive. Sabi Sands is renowned for its big cat sightings, so you might encounter leopards, lions, and cheetahs during your drive. After an exciting wildlife experience, enjoy a bush breakfast in a picturesque spot within the reserve.

Spend the afternoon unwinding at your suite—relax by the plunge pool, indulge in a spa treatment, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings from your private deck. Later, venture out on another afternoon game drive. Expert guides will share their insights into the region’s diverse wildlife and ecosystems. As night falls, enjoy a lavish multi-course dinner paired with fine wines, followed by stargazing around the campfire.

Day 3: Transfer to Dulini River

After an early morning game drive and breakfast at the lodge, prepare for your transfer to Dulini River.

Check into your Luxury Suite, nestled along a quiet riverbed, offering an intimate setting. The suite comes with a private heated plunge pool and outdoor shower for a tranquil, immersive experience.

After a leisurely lunch overlooking the riverbed, embark on an afternoon game drive to explore more of Sabi Sands' rich wilderness. In the evening, return to the lodge for an elegant dinner, where locally sourced ingredients are crafted into international gourmet dishes.

Day 4: Wildlife & Fine Dining at Dulini River

Begin the day with a sunrise game drive, where you’ll have the chance to track the Big Five. Keep an eye out for the leopards Sabi Sands is famous for, while your guide offers fascinating insights into the area’s diverse wildlife.

Enjoy a luxurious bush lunch set in the heart of nature, served with 5-star service amidst the wild. Relax back at your suite in the afternoon—take a dip in your plunge pool or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings before your final afternoon game drive.

End your last evening with a spectacular dinner under the stars, paired with exquisite wines. Gather around the fire to share stories of your safari adventures.

Day 5: Farewell

On your last morning, savor one more early game drive, followed by a hearty breakfast at Dulini River. After breakfast, a private transfer will take you to the airstrip for your complimentary flight back to Johannesburg, concluding your unforgettable luxury safari experience.
