Lower Sabie Rest Camp is a top choice for a wildlife-rich safari in Kruger Park with a rewarding profusion of animal and birds in the surrounding area.
With leopard, lion, buffalo and elephant all within a 15-minute drive from Lower Sabie Rest Camp, it’s easy to see why it’s a popular pitstop for safari-enthusiasts. Aside from self-guided drives in your own vehicle, you can also embark on twice-daily guided 4x4 drives and morning bush walks. If you’re particularly short on time (or somewhat impatient!), the professional trackers and rangers will get you up close to all of the wildlife action in a flash.
Eager for some birding on your safari in Kruger Park? Lower Sabie Rest Camp is a birder’s paradise! You’ll get in plenty of sightings around camp, but there’s a dedicated bird hide (Nhlambanyathi) located just 11km away. On self-drives, be sure to stop along the Mlondozi Dam and a small pan on the N'watimhiri road. The nearby Sunset Dam is also a magical place teeming with aquatic species from cormorants, herons and kingfishers to a variety of storks: the marabou, saddle-billed, and wooly-necked.
Lower Sabie Rest Camp offers a relaxed respite during your safari in Kruger Park with storybook scenery and down-to-earth hospitality. You’ll feel close to nature amongst its numerous trees (the mighty sycamore fig) attracting a bounty of birds, whose happy cheer will capture your heart throughout the day. Start your mornings with a hot cuppa at the Mugg & Bean overlooking the Sabie River, sprawl out by the pool with a book, or stock up on a few essentials from the shop and embark on a picnic.
