How are you getting to Sabi Sand? Isn't that up near Jo'burg?
The only thing that's taking me to Jo'Burg (aside from being my port of entry) is wanting to go on a Safari. Kruger Park looks nice. I thought Sabi Sand was near it.</font>
Jo'burg is only a through-point for us. We'll only see the airport. We're goint to Sabi Sands (Ulusaba, specifically) via Federal Air (a very nice charter company) that Ulusaba and most of the other reserves bordering Kruger use. So, yes, Sabi Sands lies adjacent to Kruger.
We may drive out to Blyde River Canyon and Pilgrim's Rest and that little loop, but that will be our only venture into rural SA. Since those are popular tourist routes, we're hoping that crime will be low there. We haven't read anything to the contrary, though.
