Lower Sabie Restcamp
"At lower Sabie we had a fully equipped safari tent. However i would not recommend this tent at all. There was a giant gap where the 2 tents meet allowing millions of bugs to fly in during the evening. It was very unpleasant. We had to stuff the gap with towels to reduce the number of bugs in the room. It really did ruin our stay at this location. It is great that you have animal proof rubbish bins throughout the camps however silly to then have an open rubbish bin on the porch of each room."

Always the Best
"I get angry when I read the letters of complaint in the newspapers. I have been to KNP many times and never had a bad experience. Toilets, chalets, shops - all are always clean and well maintained. The pool at Lower Sabie was sparkling. It is just the best place to relax and listen to Africa."

Electrical!
"Tent 19 - reported power tripping when we arrived.[14.30hours]
On return - 18.00 hours - had not been attended to - electrician had merely flipped the circuit breaker back up again - didn't actually identify and repair the problem as to why the circuit breaker had tripped! I established that it was the bathroom light switch that was causing the problem...."

Fabulous camp
"Lower Sabie bungalows are delightful. Self contained with cooking facility on an outdoor verandah. Ours was facing the river & we could watch hippos & elephants from our deck. They appear modern, sparsely but nicely appointed.
Game watching was amazing."

When KNP makes one day feel like two weeks
"Thank you so much to everyone. From that I made my booking until we drove out of Numbi Gate I was smiling all the way.Friendly service, our room were clean and tidy and thank you for showing the rugby in the restaurant. I love the KNP and Lower Sabie is always a beautiful place to get away. It really felt that I was on holiday for two weeks. Thank you!"

"The service at the restaurant remains pathetic as it has for many years now.
The chalet was super but I would have expected some tea cups or mugs, cereal bowls and a cloth to dry dishes."

Condition of safari tents
"I recently spent a night in the Safarui Tents at Lower Sabie, and must comment on the condition. The tiles in the bathroom are lifting, the wooden floorboards in the tent are splitting and lifting. The covers over the tents are all ripped and flap in the wind creating quite a noise.
Overall the tents need some urgent maintenance."

Great camp!
"This is a lovely camp!
We stayed in the tents with a river views, and it was great. They could do with a bit of TLC, but they are still lovely.
It is the best game area in the park, and we saw about 8 leopards in 6 days!
We will be returning to Lower Sabie"

Lower Sabie Restcamp
"We had a really lovely stay at Lower Sabie
Its a pity that we could not stay a 3rd night for the stay at Skukuza was terrible. Our bungalow was on a corner where all the cars drove by we could hardly have a braai.
Thank you for doing the bookings for us.
Kind regards"

Lower sabie
"Perfect camp for staying one or more nights, beautiful sight over the river if you have a bungalow on the border of the camp.
Bungalows are well equipped for self catering and braai. Also compliments for booking and reactions on questions to Carien du Plessis for transferring us to Lower Sabie instead of Skukuza!
Best Regards"

Very good value for money
"Plus sides: The tent was well equipped, clean and with a good location. Enjoyed the birds, the hippos and lion roar at night. We saw the big five and wild dogs. Other visitors were friendly and the reception was friendly and efficient.
Down sides: Waste had been burned just in front of our tent nr 23 leaving burned cans and other residue. A staff at the cafeteria claimed we had not paid for our coffee although we had paid. We paid again and left it at that in order not to argue. A lot of cars in the sites with lions and leopards but I guess its unavoidable on a weekend."

Up close and personal !!!
"The entire weekend was awesome, the chalet was clean and spacious. We got to see the big 5 whilst driving on our own through the park and also went on an evening game drive. The "up-close-and-personal" highlight was seeing an elephant in musk come running straight toward us on the road, and we had to reverse for about 300m before he lost interest and turned away."
