Private game reserves
Privately run reserves, from the Sabi Sand and Timbavati to the Waterberg, with the lodges inside each.
Private reserves usually mean open vehicles, off-road driving and night drives, which national parks restrict. They also mean private lodges, so the stays here are mostly inside the reserve rather than beside it.
