This grey giant is the largest living land mammal. Elephants are among the most social animals living in groups up to a hundred individuals. There is nothing more impressive that being amidst a large herd.
Sabi Sands Game Reserve offers excellent possibilities for viewing Africa's Big Five. The term "Big Five" is reminiscent of the old safari hunting days. Rather, these five animals were the most difficult to hunt.
Although this animal is sometimes referred to as a bush cow, do not underestimate its capabilities: an African buffalo can run faster than an astounding 55 kilometres per hour. It is a rather common species that can be found throughout Southern Africa.
The most elusive of the Big Five. The Sabi Sand has the highest concentration of leopard in the world.
Masters of the African savannah and probably the most exciting animals that can be seen when on a African safari. The Sabi Sands is privileged to have some very healthy lion prides in the area.
Two species of rhino can be found in South Africa, the square-lipped (white) rhino and hooked-lipped (black) rhino. These are not names that refer to the colour of the rhino, they both are pretty much grey.
Sabi Sands Game Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park, offers a safari experience found nowhere else in the world. Game viewing possibilities are simply unparalleled, including the much sought after 'Big 5'.
