Arrival Experience
Direct flights from Johannesburg land at Skukuza or the private Sabi Sand airstrip, followed by a short transfer drive through the reserve to the lodge.
Best Time to Visit
May to September brings cool, dry mornings and concentrated wildlife around the river; the green season offers dramatic skies and excellent photography.
