Sabie
Sabie is a small country village nestled in a deep valley on the escarpment of the Drakensberg mountain range in the Mpumalanga "place of the rising sun" province of South Africa. The town is located 360 km east of the Johannesburg International Airport and 64 km west of the renown Kruger National Park.
Sabie is a popular destination with breathtaking nature scenes and spectacular water falls in pristine mountain streams. The tourism infrastructure is well developed with about 40 accommodation establishments and many great restaurants. This delightful forestry and tourist village of Sabie is proud to be without a single parking meter or traffic robot.
Fourty accommodation establishments cater for the full range of accommodation preferences. These include stately lodges, homely bed & breakfast guest houses, fully equipped self-catering chalets and tents, shady camp sites and budget accommodation for backpackers. A number of establishments also offer state-of-the-art conference venues. Sabie has more that 20 restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, pancake bars, biltong delicatessens and fast food outlets catering for all culinary delights. The closest major shopping mall is in Nelspruit about 60 km from Sabie, but its an experience to shop-till-you-drop in our dozen or so curio shops and numerous road-side curio stalls. With nature on our doorstep, Sabie is an inspiring environment for a growing number of artists and craftsmen and women, producing unique works of art. Sabie's pride and joy is the SAFCOL Forest Industry Museum. The museum is the only one of its kind on the African Continent and is well worth a visit.
