Days 9-11: Game drive at Dulini River Lodge

The Sabi Sands has an exceptionally high density of game, which includes all the members of the Big 5. Other animals you will encounter include zebra, giraffe, wildebeest and a wide variety of antelope, while cheetah and possibly even the highly endangered wild dog make for special sightings.

It's one of Africa's best game viewing destinations and the next three full days are spent enjoying early morning and late afternoon game drives through the Sabi Sands Reserve - and since you're in a private reserve, you'll enjoy thrilling night drives too. For a different safari experience, go on a guided nature walk with an expert and armed ranger, do some bird watching, or just relax on one of the expansive decks and do some game viewing from the comfort of a chair.
