Please ask us before booking a Sabi Sands safari with accommodation

Day safaris without accommodation can be booked directly.

Lodges and camps can fill up to 6 months in advance. Contact Knap Tours first so we can check availability and confirm your accommodation before you book or pay.

We may propose a different lodge, or accommodation outside Sabi Sands with game drives conducted inside Sabi Sands. You will be informed in advance of any changes and may cancel free of charge if you do not accept them.

Spend four nights at Elephant Plains Lodge and discover Sabi Sands at an unhurried pace. This five-day safari gives you eight guided game drives, three complete days at the lodge and time to relax between wildlife outings.

From Johannesburg to the Sabi Sands bush

Your journey begins with a shuttle from OR Tambo to Hazyview, followed by a connecting transfer to Elephant Plains Lodge. Arrive for lunch, settle in and head out on your first sunset game drive before dinner.

Three full days on safari

Days two to four balance early morning and sunset game drives with breakfast, lunch, dinner and restful time at the lodge. Explore the reserve in different light while searching for the Big Five and other wildlife. Sightings are never guaranteed.

A final morning before the journey home

On day five, enjoy an early morning game drive and breakfast before checking out. Transfer to Hazyview for the onward shuttle to Johannesburg.

Your package price

US$3,000 per person sharing; standard solo rate US$4,200. Includes four lodge nights, eight game drives, breakfast on days two to five, lunch and dinner on days one to four, and all listed shuttle and lodge transfers.
