Set in one of the premier reserves in South Africa, the Sabi Sands is renowned as one of the best locations for predator sightings, particularly the elusive leopard. Join professional wildlife photographer Samuel Cox and explore a private traverse deep in the Sabi Sands, seeking the finest photographic opportunities and sightings the region has to offer.

We will use a luxury tented bush lodge as our home base, placing us in the heart of the wild and amidst the action, even when not on a game drive. Between activities, there will be ample time for editing, photo tuition, recharging batteries, and, of course, downtime.

You will be able to enjoy the bar, the infinity pool, or the privacy of your room. Being part of a small group of 4-6 participants ensures plenty of space and flexibility in our private vehicle, as well as more time for bespoke tuition and guidance.

While our primary focus will be on predators, we will also seek out any excellent photographic opportunities. We’ll be on the lookout for the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino) as well as African wild dogs, cheetahs, and general game like zebra, wildebeest, impala, and warthog. Bird enthusiasts will delight in sightings of rollers, eagles, storks, hawks, and more, while nocturnal species such as genets, civets, and pangolins may also make an appearance.

This action-packed and wild region never fails to deliver, ensuring you leave with an expansive portfolio of exciting imagery and lifelong memories.
