TAKING CARE OF NATURE

Nature is a living miracle and to us, poaching is not only unthinkable, it’s an illegal act that threatens one of South Africa’s greatest treasures. This is why we have a dedicated anti-poaching unit and partner with other conservation teams in the area to extend our cover of protection.

Considered among the best guides and trackers in the industry

Meet the Rockstars of the safari world. Every guide and tracker is highly experienced and has undergone intensive training to make sure that your safari is safe, informative and unforgettable.

Sabi Sabi is situated within a recognized ‘hotspot’ of biodiversity. While the many visitors from all over the world come to spot the ‘Big 5’ – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo; just as important are the ‘Small 5005’ other species and rare and localized species, for example, the highly secretive Pangolin or Scaly Anteater occurs here.

SAFARI GAME DRIVES

Game ranger training is intensive and of a very high standard. In effect rangers are environmental educators, the information and knowledge that they impart to guests may in a sense also represent a benefit that transcends site boundaries nationally and internationally. Similarly, the trackers meet the highest standards in the field. Most of the trackers are local Shangaan people and possess an innate appreciation and deep knowledge of the bush.
