Fodor's Expert Review Lower Sabie

Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa

One of the most popular camps in Kruger, Lower Sabie has tremendous views over a broad sweep of the Sabie River and sits in one of the best game-viewing areas of the park (along with Skukuza and Satara). White rhinos, lions, cheetahs, elephants, and buffalo frequently come down to the river to drink, especially in the dry winter months. Long wooden walkways curve around the restaurant and shop where you can sit and look out over the river. Ancient trees full of birds line the camp perimeter along the river (spot the dozing hippos) and there are lots of animal waterholes within a few minutes' drive. Guests have a range of options to stay in, ranging from huts and bungalows to safari tents; there is one family cottage.
