Exclusive Bush Retreat
Four Days of Luxury in the Heart of the Sabi Sand
Overview
Four days, three nights of pure Sabi Sand luxury — the perfect length to immerse yourself in Big Five country without a lengthy commitment. Twice-daily private game drives, elegant suites and superb cuisine combine in a retreat that works beautifully on its own or as the wild heart of a Cape Town holiday.
Even in a short stay, the Sabi Sand's density of wildlife means you'll likely tick off the Big Five and enjoy multiple leopard sightings. Between drives, unwind at your suite's private deck, indulge in the spa or simply watch the bush from your plunge pool.
