What our guests have said about this accommodation

Tommie Hayward
We enjoyed the stay at Lower Sabie Camp very much, and had a wonderful time in the Kruger Park
Bahia Fitchen
Guided walks and nights drives were great and set the tone for our Kruger getaway. Learnt a great deal on the walk. Travis and Pietrus were brilliant. Facilities were clean and staff friendly. Lower Sabie is a fantastic camp.. although wish Mugg & Bean wasn't the official restaurant - as it's too commercial. But the staff were fabulous and what a view from the deck!
Brian Watson
Helpful and very friendly staff. The bungalow was excellently located on the perimeter. A vey good visit even though there is a very severe drought.
VAL RUNKEL
Kitchen needs new cupoards and the whole place feels old and shabby. Staff friendly and efficient.
Alexandra Blackie
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lower Sabie.
Janice van Drunick
What an amazing experience we had at Lower Sabie Rest Camp and the entire stay at the Park. Thank you for your friendliness and superb facilities.
Peter Edwards
lucky enough to get a bungalow with a view. Bungalow could have used some better maintenance (comment valid for all camps. The cleaning is good, but the facilities are well used and sometimes a bit decrepit)
Doreen Ford
Comfortable better cooking facility. Good beds nice clean bathroom. Would choose river tents next time look out not as pretty as talboti camp. But enjoyed our stay
Albert Putter
We visited KNP in January and it was awesome. Chalet was clean and equiped with everything necessary. Home away from home. Really enjoyed our stay and will be back soon.
Danie Pretorius
.I am an experienced and well traveled Kruger park visitor. However, what I experienced now at Lower Sabie changed my family's lives. Camped with my "boswa" close to nature at very affordable rates. Holiday traffic was just over and all visitors and staff went out of their way to make our visit special - reflecting respect for each other. Gained another few years in my live expectancy. Want to mention game warden Craig and camp employee Eckson specially. In sweltering heat and with hard ground for the tent pegs Eckson came out of his own accord and assisted these 3 "old timers" . On the morning of our exit we had a flat tyre. Again he came to our assistance and removed the tyre and went and fixed it and brought it back to us repaired - always a friendly smile. The passion and love that Craig has for his work is contagious and can be seen in all the people around him. From trying to rescue a snared wild dog - to prosecuting some irresponsible guys who drove directly into the bush way off the road to have a closer view of lions - to the way he treat people with respect and assist- making time for everyone - it is what the Kruger is for me all about. We had fantastic viewing of a wide variety of animals in the near vicinity of Lower Sabie. Needless to say - everything that we need and want to live and experience can be done from Lower Sabie and that will be our basis for all future visits. Already planning to bring my children and grand children with us for next visit. Thanks again.
Leonardus Voncken
Good.
Zelda Prinsloo
Just want to say thank you to everybody. There was no problems when we booked in and everything went smoothly. Thank you to the Kruger Team for a great experience, regards.
anton venter
Thank you it was fantastic.
TRISH HENDERSON
We loved this camp site and will definitely be returning. Everything was well looked after, bathrooms were clean and the views of the river were a real treat.Thank you to everyone that is involved in making our stay so pleasant.
Tim Smith
Accommodation clean neat and well kept. Camp well run and maintained. Night drive excellent. Thank you very much.
Cornus Du plooy
Very nice
Marietjie du Plessis
We enjoyed our stay in Lower Sabie very much. Your staff all over the Park should be commended for their friendly and helpful service. We do feel that some maintenance work is needed in your ablutions in the camping area however. We will visit the park again. Thank you for a pleasurable stay.
Diane Venter
Excellent.
THOMAS BLACHA
We are very satisfied. We like the Kruger Park. The Low Sabie Restcamp is located at a very nice place in the Park.
Edward Robinson
This was our second visit to the Krugar Park and hopefully not our last. The accommodation was very good and in a great location and the rest camp facilities are excellent. Highly recommend.
MARC DEMMER
Excellent value for money.
Elmari Spangenberg
Calm atmosphere. Central to loads of roads to travel. Not a lot of natural shade in camp site.
Julia Zorrilla
We loved this place.
Chris Barnard
Like the upgrade of units. Very nice to stay. Facilities on camp in good condition.
andreia eloi
Just perfect..love it ♥
Karien Winter
Excellent venue and facilities.
Frieda Vorster
We loved staying at Lower Sabie!!! Will definitely come back again!
DOMINIQUE BISSON
I love this place, because it's peaceful, calm.The day we can drive to see animals and the evening it's very calm, no noise. Perfect.
Lezahn Blignaut
Was an excellent stay. We enjoyed it very much. Chalet was neatly and clean. Well done!!
Marilyn Nel
Lovely camp. Lovely chalets. Was a delight. We can be proud of the park.
sandra pollastrini
Ablutions were clean and the unit was very comfortable. they really supply everything you need.
Jaco van der Westhuizen
Despite the rainy weather, our stay was enjoyable and cozy.
Rachel Kaufman
Loved the view from the restaurant here. The campground was well-kept and nice.
PATRICIA AUGHEY
Super camp, very friendly and helpful staff.
Mandi Macdonald
Accommodation was really nice and clean, linen was clean.
Chris Fall
The unit is situated with the most amazing view. The unit itself is a quite tired, but it looks as if Lower Sabie is re-doing its tented camp. I would highly recommend getting a unit on the fence line as you can see so many animal from it - Elephant playing in the water, leopard lazing in the sun, buffalo and those are the highlights.
Tina Human
it was a pleasure to visit the park! Under Sabie camp was very good as was all the camps we visited as day visitors. the accommodation was very good and the staff is fantastic! the only problem if had is that we did not have hot water in the evenings, or for that matter after 11 in the mornings!
Lyn Roodt
Service at reception was excellent, Camp at the tents was clean and beautiful. Loved it!!
Michael Ray
Had a fabulous time. It was good to see the continued significant improvements being made on a continuous basis in the chalets. We went on a sundown game drive with San Parks, and saw 2 lions, 2 leopards, 2 genets, 1 civet, a rhino and others. The Mugg & Bean restaurant coped admirably well with the volume of people requiring food. Well done!
David
A brilliantly experience affording a unique opportunity to enjoy nature in all its splendor. A must visit on any trip to the Kruger National Park.
Corrie Hildebrandt
Lower Sabie is a great camp. We stayed in the Safari Tents and enjoyed every moment. Staff and facilities are the best.
ERROL AMEY
Staying at Lower Sabie was outstanding, very clean, excellent cleaning service. Would like to stay there again.
Lizelle Bosch
Very nice - beautiful setting with river in front of the tent!! Very comfortable with everything needed.
ERROL AMEY
Camp was outstanding, very clean, would like to stay there again.
ERROL AMEY
excellent--5.
ERROL AMEY
The camp was clean and the service outstanding, we could not find fault at all. We will definitely be back-IF we can find accommodation again!!
jane elton
We absolutely love Lower Sabie and our guest house was outstanding in location and quality. Can't wait to come back!
Jan Serfontein
Very basic, better than a tent. everything was clean. Camp quiet after 21H00. Not my type of over-night, but had no other option.
Lydia Dunn
First time in this camp and our next trip will definitely stay over in Lower Sabie. I loved the accommodation and its at the river. So peaceful and clean and everything we wanted. Thanks so much for making our six days stay in the different camps so relaxing.
Mrs Ryder
We enjoy our time fully in the Camp as well as the park just very upset about the closure of Afsaal picnic spot as we do make it one of our spot to visit in the Park otherwise we enjoyed the visit in the park.
Diana Robertson
Lovely tented camp, clean and comfortable. Nice to have a Mugg & Bean.
SKYE KENNEDY
A favourite camp of mine, the game is always plentiful around Lower Sabie.
Dirk
Enjoyed this camp very much. Good sightings, including Big 5.
Alex
We enjoyed every moment.
JJ van Coller
I was really impressed with the camp. From accommodation to restaurant to all facilities. All areas were well looked after and the room cleaning service was excellent as well.
Tom Minnaar
We loved it here. The staff was always friendly.
MARGARITA POPOVA
We had a wonderful stay at the camp, the staff was excellent! We are all very grateful to Rofhiwa at reception, the cleaning ladies, Travis, Dingaan, Prince and another gentlemen from Mug and Bean for organising and outstanding bush braai for our group! Excellent service and excellent experience! Thank you!
Eugene Caunter
Always enjoy staying at Lower Sabie because of its proximity to the river. The camp is clean and well maintained and the personnel friendly and helpful.
IAN Collie
Have been visiting the Park for many years but have not stayed in one of your camps for maybe 30 years. Loved your safari tents at Lower Sabie. We will return soon. Regards I K Collie
JAN
Very nice setting. Will come again.
Jimmy Gurr
We paid & booked FU5 family bungalow. We were given Bungalo 1 with no explanation. It was dirty, full of wasps and the grass had not been cut, No1 is not even marked on the map. The spare room had 2 beds that you could not open the cupboard or close the door. When I complained they gave me the Eish. Heard from one staff member there where rats in FU5. After tracking down the duty manager and inspecting FU5 the vermon where quirrels. So after fixing the aircons we moved in. We will never go back to Lower Sabie again. If you want pictures of the outside of 1&2 I will send them.
Pieter Cronje
Nice stay. Very dissapionted in the bathrooms
IAN Collie
We had a wonderful time and our safari tent was perfect. We will return thank you
Rose
Wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time I would like one of the units on the river. Thanks so much. Brilliant.
anika
Hey, thank you very much it was very nice thanks for making it so easy to book and for all the help tanya lomas you were very helpful and friendly.
David Wise
What a lovely camp. We had a beautiful tent with a great river view and then a weaver bird spent 2 days building a nest just in font of us. Just an idyllic place.
Henco Cronje
Excellent camp for viewing game which is in abundance close to the camp. Accommodation was excellent. Ablution facility is however not to the same standard as what was available at Pretoriuskop Restcamp
Mel Pereira
Excellent!
De La Port Yvette
All staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent facilities. Booking through Kruger.com was bliss. Thank you
Simon Miller
The staff were efficient and helpful on arrival, which made a great first impression. We appreciated having the Mugg & Bean available for meals, and were impressed with the quality of service received. The only downside to the trip was the lack of cleanliness in the Lower Sabie toilets and showers - not terrible, but could be better. Good trip overall though.
Marieke van der Merwe
Was great!
Jaco Prinsloo
Very nice.
LOUBIGNAC ISABELLE
Nice camp with a good atmosphere. The swimming pool was not very clean
Gerhard Nel
Was looking for a place to put my caravan closer to the bush or river with no power point and closer to a bush experience , little bit away from the sound of traffic, like where those bush tents are. but we enjoyed it, and the friendly people just made our stay so worthwhile.
THOMAS HAVVAS
Our stay at Lower Sabie was most enjoyable. We can't fault this restcamp in any way. Our bungalow was comfortable (N89) and everything worked. On the whole a 5 for Lower Sabie. A small criticism - We found the River Front and deck area dominated by the restaurant ( M&B). We feel that this arrangement restricts access to the most favourable spot at the camp.
LINDA CRAWFORD
Absolutely LOVED the tent camp. Couldn't have had a better place to stay. Really enjoyed guide Griselda on our sunset drive.
Mrs RE Venter
Dear madam ,sir, Me and husband realy enjoyed our trip in the park, and it is a first time that we saw the big amount of game. Unfortunately we didn't see the cat families. I just wish to tel you where we needed any assistance everyone was very friendly and helped us. Thankyou for a lovely time in the park. Mrs RE Venter
Monique Venter
Loved it
Candis
Good day We had a very good time in the park. We enjoyed the drives daily. The quietness in the park and the fact that you can really unwind when you are in the park is magic. We had a good rest and its always sad when it is time to go home. We have been visitors for many years in the Park and every time it is an amazing experience. We have been to Letaba, Satara, Pretoriuskop, Berg and Dal and the camps are kept clean and are well looked after. However which was disappointing is the fact that the one bathroom (small one), was quite neglected in Lower Sabie. We however did see that renovations was happening. Another concern was the overall look of the camp in Lower Sabie. The grass was tall and the garden was not well looked after. What we also missed, in the past we could go and sit on the Deck which overlooked the Sabie River, but with “Mug and Bean” now the new franchise, you can no longer just visit without needing to order something. I really miss that. Have a wonderful day and see you soon
Alida Mendes
Bungalow was new so it was great. The camp site was untidy. Restaurant good.
Gavin Bailey
Top stuff.
Joan Houston
Overall our accommodation was very good and comfortable. The SANParks staff were most efficient. A little problem was that our veranda was a favourite spot for bats. Insecticide has been hung under the eaves to deter them. The camp manager, Mr Ramutsi was most understanding and concerned when I reported this, and assured me that he was pressing on to rid all the chalets of bats. Their efforts had been 90% successful and we were just unfortunate to have some on our veranda. However, we sat further out and avoided their droppings.
Tom Stones
First time we have stayed in tents at Lower Sabie, we stayed in one that hadn't been renovated. Not too bad for a unit that is quite old. What I would like to see most is a more comfortable chair on the deck.
Clinton McKeon
We stayed In Lower Sabie at the start of the trip in the Kruger National Park, and was a great experience. The chalets are very comfortable, the staff are incredible and helpful. We were really impressed since we left behind our Ipad by mistake and just realised about it at the end of that day when we arrived, we called reception to explained the situation and after half an hour they located the item for us. We arranged to pick it up on our way out from the park, and when we did that the Ipad was waiting for us in a perfect condition. Thank you so much!
Timothy Southey
Best value for money by far.
Elmarie Brockmann
Had such an awesome trip - just sorry we could not stay another night as Lower Sabie was fully booked. Really special !!
Annel Lubbe
The self catering unit we had was very nice. Clean and comfortable.
melanie Jong
We only stayed one night in this camp but I can really recommend staying longer. The house was really nice and clean, good braai area and nice hot shower. Also the park facilities were good, restaurant / shop. Plus we saw lots of animals (also big 5) in the area.
LIZETTE ERASMUS
Wonderful camp. Enjoyed our stay.
Ian Lowers
Beautiful camp will definitely return here.
MARYANN MAY
My husband & I always enjoy our stays in KNP, we have always maintained that Lower Sabie is the best camp, even more so now that they have Mug & Bean!!! So nice and clean and well run. Many thanks to ALL the staff of Lower Sabie, Mug & Bean and in fact all of the KNP staff. See you all again on 24th July, take care.
Jean-Fran
Magic, magnificent!!!! The pleasure of eyes both for the landscapes and for the animals

RIA JANSEN VAN RYSSEN
We had a great trip (as always). The stay in Lower Sabie was great. The shop though did not have we were looking for. Ablutions were clean. Overall, wonderful!
Great sunset drive at Lower Sabie, saw 2 cheetah, buffalos, elephants, hyenas and hedgehogs. Nice little safari tent overlooking the river, nicely equiped, would visit lower sabie again, thanks!

Safari.com are the best for your African Safari holiday!
My experience with booking my Southern Africa tour with Safari.com was amazing. The Safari Consultant I was working with (special shout out to Keagan Davids) was the most helpful, responsive, polite and awesome person to work with. I originally tried to book a safari holiday with a local agent in Australia and was getting nowhere fast. I decided to do some leg work myself and put a request in for some advice on safaribooking.com. It was the best thing I could have done! I only wished I had planned my first half of the holiday with Safari.com given the ease and expertise they have provided. I highly recommend their service - you will not be disappointed!

Simply The Best
We are now home from our trip and am writing to thank you for organising such an amazing adventure. We cannot fault anything about the trip from start to finish. Buffalo Camp was fantastic - the accommodation, the food and the hospitality too but most of all our game drive guys who were awesome. We saw the ‘big 5” and more. Slon and Forest went above and beyond to find the animals we wanted to see. Then we transferred to Victoria Falls River Lodge and became part of a family. I can hardly find the words to describe it. From sitting in our plunge pool watching a crocodile swimming up the Zambezi to our helicopter ride over Victoria Falls and everything in between. What a beautiful place run by beautiful people. We were invited back by both Buffalo Camp and Victoria Falls River Lodge and hopefully we can do that in the not too distant future and if it becomes possible we will not hesitate to use Safari.com again. We truly recommend your services. Once again, thank you for organising the best holiday we have ever had and one we shall treasure forever. Best wishes.

Pascal should be your Go-to consultant - 5 stars
Pascal was wonderful to work with. We wanted to stay in Sabi Sands during peak season and were having a lot of trouble finding a great lodge to stay in. Pascal was able to find us a lodge that met our needs, call the lodge to ensure they had the rooms we wanted, book flights, transfers, etc. and was very attentive and easy to talk to. He made sure to get back to us quickly and when he said he would. He was always available and I would recommend using him and safari.com to anyone looking into a safari in the future.

Superb short Safari
We were referred to Safari.com through a UK safari holiday company. We were dubious at first about dealing with a company in South Africa but we found Safari.com and in particular Mr Keagan Davids, very easy to comunicate with. He was very communicative and made all the necessary arrangements. Unfortunately, the safari lodge we'd booked got flooded out so Keagan found an alternative lodge Called Kapama River Lodge. It was great. Very nice accommodation. Great efficient and friendly staff etc. We were not disappointed. All of the arrangements went like clockwork so we'd highly recommend Safari.com

Booking for Addo Elephant Park…
I made a booking for Addo Elephant Park through Safari.com. The instructions were clearly conveyed to me regarding the payment of a deposit to secure the booking. The service received from the lady I dealt with was very professional. For example, upon requesting a change in accommodation type, the request was promptly attended to and I was informed accordingly which I noticed was outside office hours. Proof of secured accommodation was sent promptly and reminder for payment of balance was send well in advance of final date. Finally, once payment was cleared, I received the booking voucher as well as forms to be filled in by all passengers upon entrance as well as the conservation fees to be paid. All in all it was a pleasure to deal with Safari.com and we are looking forward to our stay in ADDO ELEPHANT PARK. Thank you.

Spending 40 years in the travel…
Spending 40 years in the travel industry and taking several Safari to Kenya, my wife and I reached out to Dolan at Safari.com to help plan our S. African Safari to Kruger. Dolan handled all aspects of the planning including transfers to and from airport, plane reservations and lodging at the 5-star Leopard Hills lodge. With just a couple of emails he made the planning seamless. every aspect was on-time, and all responses were very timely. We can't wait to go back and would highly recommend Dolan at Safari.com

The person helping me was great
The person who was helping me with the booking, Carien, was exceptionally helpful and she made it very easy to get information and to get my booking sorted. The website was very easy to navigate and receive good information about which spots offer which amenities

Unorgettable trip in South Africa
We have spent 12 days as a family in South Africa with my 3 children and my wife who is in a wheelchair. Thanks to Pascal, Safari.com consultant, we were able to spend an unforgettable moment with a great program while being well accompanied despite our constraints. I recommand particularly the "Monwana game lodge" for a safari in Hoedspruit. It's an amazing place with very nice people and a real family atmosphere. Thank you to the entire Safari.com team for this unforgettable trip.

Cape Town miracle
I was in Cape Town, South Africa recently for an athletic competition and had allowed myself a week of personal time to relax and properly conclude the trip, but had not bothered to plan a safari to occupy the time. I was skeptical of the cost and whether I would enjoy the experience, however a couple days into that final week it occurred to me, in a bit of a panic attack, what a waste it would be not to take advantage of this opportunity. I hopped online and started looking at flights to Johannesburg (almost all the safaris in SA start there with an early morning pick up), but it was basically impossible to get a flight early enough and/or to coordinate with the multiple safaris operating in or just outside of Kruger. With no apparent options available to turn my remaining 4 1/2 days into even a 3 day safari I stumbled on the most obvious website one could imagine, Safari.com. I'd completely given up negotiating all the variables on my own but here was a safari travel agent that might be able to help me .. and they were based right out of Cape Town, literally a stones throw from my lodgings. Serendipity, or so i hoped. I immediately sent out an email and crossed my fingers .. for roughly an hour and a half, at which point Dolan from Safari.com responded to me requesting I give him a call so that we could expedite potential arrangements. My in country phone plan wasn't able to make calls, but we arranged for him to call me and not 3 hours after being in the grip of despair Dolan got through to me and far from notifying me of how absurd it was to hold out hope for a literally, last minute safari adventure with barely 4 days available to me, he had already worked out all the details I'd sent and created a preliminary safari trip that would bypass Johannesburg airport for a flight the next morning to a closer, much, much smaller airport where I would be picked up taken, not to a 3 day safari, but a full 4 day safari, then back to the tiny, tiny airport for a return flight to Cape Town with 2 hours to spare for my return leg all the way home. It almost feels like an afterthought, after the minor miracle Dolan was able to conjure up, but the safari itself at Simbavati Lodge was just an absolutely stunning experience. The single "tent" he booked me was as luxurious as any 4 star hotel I've stayed in, the game drives, one every morning, one every evening were more amazing than I could have ever imagined, and the food, 3 meals a day with snacks and an open bar was sublime. I could go on about the wonderful staff, or the wonderful other safari goers you can meet and grab a drink with, or the different animals walking through the open lodge facilities daily .. but I've gone on long enough. I'll simply conclude by saying .. safari, absolutely, yes, do it, it is amazing. And when you do decide, Safari.com will do you right and if you have the pleasure of working with Dolan, do give him my thanks .. the entire experience was the best part of my trip :)

A great company
What to say! We planned a South African Safari for 2020 with Safari.com. We researched companies and took a chance on one we had never heard of before. Henry Franklin was our agent, we gave him our budget and wish list. He came up with a wonderful looking trip and we made our choices! Then came Covid, preventing us from going. We couldn’t have been in better hands. Henry rebooked everything for the next year. He kept us updated on how things looked there. When in 2021, we decided it still looked iffy, he rebooked us a second time for 2022. We couldn’t have been happier with the service we had in a rough time for all. We had a wonderful experience on our trip when we finally got to go!! Henry had everything so well organized and gave us a detailed list of what transfer companies would be meeting us and when. When Airlink bumped us and put us on standby returning from Victoria Falls, we called the concierge number Henry had given us and Catherine worked hard on this and got us back on our flight. The Safari.com team had our back and we have no regrets. Would definitely use them again. Our lodging was wonderful, saw the big 5 within first 2 drives. Henry definitely knew the territory and did a great job matching what we wanted with where he suggested we go and stay. Thanks Safari.com, Henry and Catherine!

Superior service, knowledgeable, transparent, amazing can-do attitude
These guys get 10/10. I have booked with them a few times. To Kruger National Park, including both public and private(concession) camps, flights and car hire. Their senior agent, Dolan is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. Attention to detail, transparency, and 'can-do' attitude are out of the ordinary. I recently came into contact with Tanya at safari.com as well. It looks like all their agents are similarly well trained. Thank you. I cannot recommend Dolan and his team highly enough.

I've recently interacted with Dolan and hands down he's been the best travel agent that I've every worked with. He was a wealth of experience and knowledge which shows volumes. He took into consideration my budget and my individual needs to tailor make a package with recommendations for my preference,he knows Kruger and Greater Kruger like the back of his hands and I will wholeheartedly recommended his services. He is truly an asset to his institution.

Nelia Nyamhanza
Nelia Nyamhanza, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly in designing our trip every step of the way. She listened to our request of places we wanted to visit and advised us on what best to do. This made the whole experience wonderful. Every guide from Ilios was eager to share their culture with us and are kind people, as well as, the guide/driver from Elephant Camp, Victoria Falls. We will recommend others to you so that they can be part of your amazing country.

Excellent service by the agent Jayson…
Excellent service by the agent Jayson Scheffers (Africa Safari Expert). We had little idea of the place and things to do. He made it at all soo easy and planned it so well that it all went smooth. We had a baby with us so we were not sure about the things but he advised us well. All the hotels, pickups etc were well informed about our situation and we did not face any issues. He was always there to answer any questions 24/7. Very personalized service. Highly recommended.
