Sandringham Private Game Reserve \u2013 A New Era of Luxury Safari in Greater Kruger<\/strong>

Opening on 1 August 2026, Sandringham Private Game Reserve<\/a><\/strong> introduces an extraordinary new safari destination in the heart of South Africa’s renowned Greater Kruger. Set along the scenic Timbavati River and bordering both the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve<\/a><\/strong> and Thornybush Game Reserve<\/a><\/strong>, this exceptional reserve offers guests exclusive access to one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife regions.

Created through a visionary five-year conservation project by the Sabi Sabi Collection, Sandringham has transformed a former hunting reserve into a thriving protected wilderness where wildlife and conservation now take centre stage. This remarkable restoration reflects a long-term commitment to preserving biodiversity while delivering an authentic luxury safari experience.

Guests can choose from three outstanding accommodation options. N’weti Camp features six elegant luxury suites, offering an intimate and immersive bush retreat. Shisaka Camp comprises six beautifully appointed suites together with two spacious luxury villas, ideal for couples, families, and small groups. For those seeking complete exclusivity, Sandringham House is a magnificent four-bedroom private villa, perfect for multi-generational families or groups of friends looking for a personalised safari experience.

Combining exceptional wildlife viewing, luxurious accommodation, world-class hospitality, and a strong conservation ethos, Sandringham Private Game Reserve<\/strong> is set to become one of Greater Kruger<\/a><\/strong>‘s most exciting new luxury safari destinations, offering unforgettable encounters in one of Africa’s most iconic wilderness landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
