For all visitors, an entrance fee is payable to enter the Sabi Sand Wildtuin, which is payable at the gate. Self-drive visitors must ALSO pay a per vehicle entrance fee, at the gate.

Please retain your receipt as proof of entrance and have it stamped at the lodge reception when you are leaving, which acts as your Exit Permit. Once inside the gate, follow the signs to the lodge through the reserve.

The Gates open at 05h00 / 06h00 and close at 22h00 / 23h00. Please note that these times are subject to change. The Sabi Sand Reserve is a protected reserve and therefore access is restricted - hence the gate opening and closing times.

*Please be aware, as you approach the Lodge that you are in a wilderness area where predators and high-profile game roam freely. Do not leave your car for any reason.

Once you enter the Sabi Sand Game reserve, please drive carefully and adhere to the following regulations:
