Lions, Lions & More Lions

Francois Lebrun • 30 August 2019

There are many things that’s amazing about being in the bush. Internet connection is not one of them, hence the slight delay 😜

We are SO in love with the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve 😍 The wildlife is off the charts, with phenomenal sightings of lion, elephant, buffalo, all sorts of antelope, giraffe and more. Especially amazing was a herd of elephant that was hanging around for ours at our lodge, the stylish Lion Sands.

Many guests asks us: Do I really need to go to a private reserve, or can I just go to Kruger. The answer is, if you have a short amount of time and want close-up encounters, without a doubt head to a private reserve.

The expert trackers and rangers of private reserves can find way more animals than you can on your own, and because they are allowed to go off-road for Big 5 sightings, you can get extremely close to these beautiful creatures.

Enjoy the photos! 😊
