All Sabi Sands lodges run at extremely high occupancy levels. Therefore, we recommend that you start planning your safari to Sabi Sands approximately 8 to 12 months in advance. If you wish to travel during peak periods (e.g. Christmas and Easter) we strongly recommend that you start planning between 12 and 18 months in advance. For some lodges - when it concerns peak periods - it is not uncommon to find they are fully booked two (!) years in advance. Also, when travelling with family (children), or in a group, one should start planning as early as possible: due to their modest scale, the lodges have a limited number of total available rooms.
