Webinar Recording: The Expansion of the Sabi Sabi Collection

Thank you for joining us for an inspiring conversation with Jacques Smit, Marketing Director of the Sabi Sabi Collection, as he shared the journey of one of South Africa’s most iconic luxury safari brands. In this session, Jacques explored the evolution of Sabi Sabi from its world-renowned private game reserve to the newly launched Sabi Sabi Collection, which included exciting ventures such as Sandringham Private Game Reserve and The Claremont Boutique Hotel in Cape Town.

He discussed how the brand continued to balance luxury hospitality with its deep commitment to conservation, land restoration, and community development. Jacques also highlighted how authentic storytelling and immersive guest experiences remained at the heart of Sabi Sabi’s vision, offering valuable insights for those passionate about travel, sustainability, and the future of luxury tourism in Africa.
