Sabi Sabi Airstrip Information
Since its inception in mid-2004, the Sabi Sabi airstrip has streamlined guest transport to and from Sabi Sabi’s lodges and ensured seamless travel for visitors. Your ranger will welcome you on arrival and transfer you to your lodge in an open safari vehicle. Your ranger will again transfer you back to our airstrip for departure, with minimal transfer time between the lodges and the airstrip.
