There are several ways of getting to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park.
Fly-In Safari: Daily flights operate between Johannesburg Airport and many private lodges in the Sabi Sand. This is the easiest and most convenient way to travel to the Sabi Sand and takes roughly 90 minutes to reach the airstrip nearest to your lodge. Luggage, however, is limited to 20kg on these flights. Alternatively, you can touch down in Kruger Mpumalanga Airport, Hoedspruit or Skukuza Airport, and road transfer or "lodge hop" in a small light aircraft to your lodge of choice.
Self-Drive Safari: Self-driving is feasible and enjoyable for those with more time. Sabi Sand is about 6 hours drive from Johannesburg. The road is tarred and well maintained, with clean service stations along the way. Fuel is never a problem in South Africa, and you won't get lost with Google Maps or Waze. Roads are surprisingly well signposted, and traffic density is generally low.
