Day 8 – Sabi Sands Game Drives

Day 8 – Sabi Sands Game Drives

This scenic part of the Sabie Game Reserve has a beautiful mix of environments from winding riverbeds and woodland to open savanna and riverine thickets. This wilderness reserve is home to the big-five as well as a huge diversity of different flora and fauna to discover.  There are 2 daily game drives included in a safari stay at Umkumbe Bush Lodge. The morning safari will stop for a scenic coffee pit stop and on afternoon drive, guests can enjoy a classic safari sundowner and snacks.

A sundowner at Umkumbe is simply a ‘happy hour’ during sunset over the African Savanna. It’s a classic safari tradition dating back to the colonial days. As you finish your afternoon game drive, your guide will take you to a beautiful and remote location in the bush. You may find yourself on a hilltop overlooking the savanna or next to a waterhole watching the wildlife come for their last drink of the day.

After sundowners guests will get to experience a night drive. The night drives allow guests the opportunity to see the nocturnal animals not encountered during the day.
