The Prize

Congratulations, Athena! You will be enjoying a two-night stay at the lavish Sabi Sands Bush Lodge with return flights to the doorstep of the reserve from OR Tambo International Airport courtesy of FedAir.

Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve is a Big Five safari destination and one of the best places to spot leopards and lions. This prime game area shares an unfenced border with the iconic Kruger National Park, allowing a host of other incredible species to cross into the reserve.

You’ll set off on game drives in an open safari vehicle and go on walking safaris to explore this wilderness and reconnect with nature.

In Sabi Sabi, you’ll stay at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge, a luxurious escape that includes three superb meals daily and all drinks (except French Champagne and Private Collection wines). The lodge’s contemporary design blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings while celebrating African art and culture. Enjoy cooling off in the swimming pool and watch animals pass by from a comfortable spot on the spacious viewing deck overlooking a watering hole.

FedAir will ensure that you get to your destination in style. As South Africa’s premier air shuttle and private charter flight service, FedAir has been bringing travellers to Kruger National Park and its surroundings for over two decades. You’ll arrive at OR Tambo and enjoy FedAir’s exclusive airport lounge (complete with snacks, drinks, and WiFi) before departing on one of FedAir’s comfortable aircraft and taking flight. The gorgeous view of the African wilderness is the perfect build-up before your safari adventure!
