With a maximum of 10 vehicles exploring 160 km of mapped roads, game drives at Sandringham Private Game Reserve take place in a low-density environment where wildlife sightings don’t feel rushed.
Sandringham Private Game Reserve’s rehabilitation story also brings tracking back to the heart of the Greater Kruger safari experience, as guides work with the landscape and wildlife rather than simply moving from one sighting to the next.
Guided Game Drives
Explore Sandringham Private Game Reserve by open safari vehicle with experienced guides who look beyond the obvious. Tracks, vegetation, bird calls and animal behaviour all become part of the story, creating a richer understanding of the bush.
The reserve's four rivers also provide natural gathering points for wildlife, offering the possibility of fascinating waterside encounters. The low vehicle density allows game drives to unfold at a relaxed pace, giving guests time to observe rather than simply move on to the next sighting.
Experience the Bush on Foot
A walking safari lets you explore the land in a totally different and authentic way. Follow the subtle signs left by animals, discover the smaller details of the ecosystem and learn how the different elements of the bush connect. Sandringham's ongoing rehabilitation adds another dimension, with guides able to share the story of how this reserve is gradually being restored.
A Birder's Paradise
With 4 rivers and varied vegetation, Sandringham Private Game Reserve provides a rich environment for birdlife. Birdwatching can form part of a special excursion or just become an unexpected pleasure throughout the day from the bird hide, your private deck and around camp to the waterways and bushveld explored on safari.
Armchair Safari
Not every wildlife encounter requires a vehicle and sometimes the best view is from camp
The riverside setting makes it easy to settle back on your private deck or around a fire pit and watch the wilderness. With water attracting wildlife towards the lodge, moments of quiet observation can be every bit as memorable as a game drive.
Wellness & Relaxation
Safari and relaxation are naturally intertwined at Sandringham Private Game Reserve.
After a morning in the bush you can escape to the Amani Wellness Spa, spend time beside your private pool or enjoy the views from the lodge's water-facing gym. Evenings offer a slower pace over dinner next to the fire or with a glass of wine from the cellar.
