Situated on the banks of the Sand River, views of elephants and buffalos can be enjoyed as the wildlife giants frolic in the water to escape the African sun.
The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is home to a selection of luxury private lodges, but in an effort to conserve the environment, environmental management programmes are constantly taking place within the reserve.
In an attempt to allow animals to roam freely, the reserve shares a fenceless border with the Kruger National Park, allowing for the ultimate wildlife experience.
Access to Umkumbe Safari Lodge
This safari lodge in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve is accessible by air and road. Flights arrive at the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) in Nelspruit, and a 2-hour road transfer will deliver guests to the lodge. Alternatively, a 6-hour self-drive from Johannesburg will give you the opportunity for some sightseeing en-route.
