There is a good reason that Sabi Sabi is legendary safari country. Located within South Africa’s Sabi Sand Reserve, Sabi Sabi is a favorite of safari aficionados for its big cat encounters and sheer diversity and abundance of species. And at the end of the day it doesn’t hurt that guests return to one of four award-winning safari camps, including Bush Lodge and Earth Lodge.

Here are a few of our favorite photos from Sabi Sabi in October:
