Lower Sabie Camp

The beautiful Sabie River, which runs through the southern reaches of the Kruger National Park, is well-known for it's large, meandering waters and the vast and diverse range of wildlife that it attracts. Lower Sabie Rest Camp, situated on the banks of this perennial river, is one of the park's most popular and rewarding.

The views of the Sabie River are particularly enjoyable, and it is not uncommon to see wildlife venturing towards the waters from the comfort of the camp. And in the background, the impressive Lebombo mountains offer the perfect backdrop.

The camp itself is particularly serene, which is largely to do with the large number of indigenous trees and the various wildlife that they attract. Numerous bird sightings are common within the camp, and many visitors choose simply to relax on one of the many benches rather than venturing outside its fences.
