Andrew Harper Journey Overview
Along the southwestern edge of the vast Kruger National Park lie a number of privately managed wildlife areas . The best known of these , Sabi Sands Game Reserve , is a collection of former cattle ranches that have been combined into a game reserve with a single administration . The various blocks of land remain the property of individual owners and lodges . However , the fences have been removed , and the animals are free to wander as they wish , including to and from the Kruger ecosystem . On private land , safari vehicles are not confined to roads , as they are in the national park . The large animals , notably the so-called “ Big Five ” — lion , leopard , elephant , rhino and buffalo — are extremely easy to see .
