A Luxury Holiday to Sabi Sands By Rachel Hill At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The Sabi Sands Private Reserve on the edges of the Kruger National Park has become renowned as one of the most prestigious in South Africa. But the once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the abundant wildlife of the area in astounding close-up doesn’t have to end with your safari. If your dream is of cocktails on the deck watching the sun set over the African bush, followed by a world class dinner by candlelight, luxury holidays in South Africa to Sabi Sands will allow you to indulge your fantasy and create some magical memories.

Around the Sabi Sands Reserve, there are many private lodges offering every conceivable facility for the guest looking for a luxury holiday. South Africa’s abundant wildlife roams freely between Kruger and Sabi Sands, so you can spend the day exploring the area in an open topped vehicle “big five” spotting, then return to your lodge for sundowners and a spa.
Just because you’re in the African bush doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality, and you will find the lodges comparable to the world’s best private hotels, and ten times more picturesque. In South Africa, travel - although exhilarating - can sometimes be tiring, and the opportunity to experience a luxury holiday to South Africa is a truly special gift.

UluSaba

The private game reserve of billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson, UluSaba is a rare and precious gem.

Many of the rich and famous enjoy their luxury holidays to South Africa at Sabi Sands, and it is easy to see why. Guests can hire out private rooms, or if they really want privacy the entire lodge can be booked.

The name UluSaba means “Place of little fear”, and the serenity of the reserve lives up to the name. Guests can relax on private viewing decks overlooking the African bush against a stunning backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountains. Enjoy a candlelit dinner under the stars as the sights and sounds of the nocturnal wildlife echo all around you.
