Elephant Plains Game Lodge is situated in the northern part of the exclusive Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park, and has no fences between it and the famous Kruger National Park.
Whilst the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is a ‘Big 5’ and ‘Super Seven’ destination, it is famous for its outstanding leopard sightings. Due to the dedication of all the reserve owners that make up the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, leopard sightings are frequent and up close without interfering with their behaviour in any way. It isn’t unusual to see several individuals in a single game drive.
