Sabi Sand Game Reserve

The Sabi Sandas we know it today has its roots as a formal association dating back to 1948 when the landowners formed this private nature reserve. Credit for the association, however, should go to the original pioneers of this private game reserve in the late 1920's and early 1930's.

Of these pioneers, no less than six of their families are now third and fourth generation owners of the land - a credit to the foresight of their forefathers who loved and respected Africa's flora and fauna. As now, fences were unheard of, with only cairns of stones marking the corner beacons of individual properties.
