About Lower Sabie

Extremely popular and often fully booked months in advance. Offers spectacular views over the Sabie River and incredible predator sightings.

Lower Sabie graces the banks of the Sabie River, offering visitors unparalleled views of the water and the parade of animals that come to drink. The area is arguably the most productive in the entire park for spotting the Big 5, particularly leopards and massive herds of buffalo. The large deck at the restaurant is famous for relaxing while watching hippos and crocodiles in the river below.
