Lower Sabie is located on the the banks of the Sabie River, one of the few perennial rivers to flow through the Kruger Park. Awesome views towards the river and the Lebombo Mountains await you. Lower Sabie is a very old camp originally built in the 1930's. It has a special place in many people's hearts. The infrastructure is however old and desperately needs upgrading. This development is vital to ensure that we give our guests value for money but do not destroy the ambiance of the camp.
In 2001 a major development project was launched to bring Lower Sabie closer to accepted KNP hospitality standards. This was a complete redevelopment of the main complex including the reception shop and restaurant.
The project was expanded to include the development of a tented camp and a swimming pool. A new filling station followed.
The development is finally complete and is a big success and very popular with the guests.
The situation regarding the accommodation units has now been identified as a priority and as a result a new project was launched to redevelop the river view bungalows at Lower Sabie.
After much planning and development and redevelopment, the ideal pilot unit has finally been built. The reaction of the public to this unit was very positive and we are going ahead with the upgrade of all the units to this standard.
In this rest camp, the bounty and plenitude of nature are very evident, eloquently symbolised by the most conspicuous of its numerous trees, the mighty sycamore fig, which provides generously for the livelihood of many birds and insects. Watching the endless procession of animals coming to drink at the Sabie River establishes a sense of one's own place in the eternal cycle.
