Lower Sabie lies on the southern bank of the Sabie River in south-eastern Kruger. Skukuza is 43 km away along the tarred H4-1, one of the busiest game-viewing roads in the park, and Sunset Dam is about 1 km from the camp.
The camp has a restaurant with a deck overlooking the river, a shop, a swimming pool, a filling station and a laundromat, with communal kitchens and braai areas. Accommodation ranges from huts and bungalows to furnished safari tents, a guest house and camping sites.
Hippos are often seen from inside the camp, and the river attracts elephant, buffalo and plenty of birdlife, including kingfishers, storks and hornbills. The area is within range of all of the Big Five, and cheetah, genet, serval and porcupine also occur.
Yes. With the Sabie River on its doorstep and the H4-1 road to Skukuza nearby, Lower Sabie puts you in one of the most productive game-viewing areas of southern Kruger.
Kruger’s gates and camp gates open and close at set times that change through the year, and you must be inside your camp before it closes. SANParks publishes the current times and notes that they may change without notice; on our safaris, your guide plans each day around them.
