La réserve de Sabi Sand est sans doute l'un des meilleurs endroits d'Afrique pour observer la faune. Cette réserve privée de 65 000 hectares, qui partage une frontière non clôturée avec le parc Kruger, limite le nombre de véhicules à 3 par observation, offrant une exclusivité impossible dans tout parc national. Sa population de léopards, habituée aux humains depuis plus de 40 ans, permet des rencontres d'une intimité extraordinaire. Les safaris nocturnes et le pistage hors des sentiers battus distinguent davantage cette expérience des safaris dans les parcs publics.
