Sabi Sand
Breakfast in the ‘Valley of Heaven’ is followed by a journey northwards, traversing rolling grasslands with rocky hills to the South African border at Oshoek. From here, your South Africa safari then travels through Nelspruit, the capital of the Mpumalanga province, en route to the town of Hazyview, where a stop is made at Shangana Cultural Village. This visit will provide guests with some insight into the rituals, culture and lifestyle of one of Africa’s most interesting nations. A local guide will lead guests down a winding pathway and past fields, where you may observe how the Shangaan people collect food from the environment. Upon reaching the traditional village, the guide will explain various facets of the Shangaan way of life. A quick visit will also be made to the local medicine man after which a short drive then leads to the Sabi Sand Reserve. The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve is inherently associated with luxury safaris and phenomenal game viewing opportunities. Its unfenced border with the Kruger National Park makes it part of one of the most important and celebrated wilderness areas in Southern Africa. Home to the Big Five and an incredible variety of wildlife, Sabi Sand is one of the finest safari destinations on the continent.
