Lower Sabie Camp

Located on the southern bank of the Sabie River, the camp is aptly called Lower Sabie. This is one of the oldest camps in the Kruger National Park, being completed in 1936, with a vintage feel, peaceful and timeless, even though it can accommodate close to 500 guests.

Lower Sabie is a bird haven with large fig trees to provide generously for the livelihood of many animals, birds, and insects. Various animals are often visible from the restaurant deck which overlooks the river.

Varied accommodation choices are available, from one-, two- and three-sleeper huts, two- and three-sleeper bungalows, family cottages, guest house, safari tents and the so-popular camp sites.
