Pragtige area en sal SANParks Lower Sabie Rest Camp aanbeveel. Maak 'n draai by Sunset Dam.

Die rondawel het meer gehad as wat ons aanvanklik gedink het. Ekstra komberse, handdoeke en seep is voorsien. Pragtige area.

Excellent location and more facilities than expected.

Our stay was fantastic. After staying at other camps, we were surprised to find a toaster, kettle, cutlery and crockery in the basic unit. You don't have as much privacy due to other people being right next to you, but that didn't bother us as we were out most of the day.

Aangenaam maar baie duur.

Ons het in een van die bungalows gebly wat 'n badkamer en stoep by gehad het. Die eenheid se dak was vol vlermuise en gevolglik was daar 'n baie slegte reuk wat heeltyd rondgehang het. Verder is dit goed ingerig, maar regtig baie duur vir dit wat mens kry. Ek dink nie ons sal sommer weer daar bly in die toekoms nie.

Translate to English.

Pleasant but very expensive.

We stayed in one of the bungalows which had a bathroom and porch. The unit's roof was full of bats and as a result there was a very bad smell that hung around all the time. Furthermore, it is well furnished, but really very expensive for what you get. I don't think we will stay there again in the future.

Uncomfortable in camp and lekker out of it.

They have a serious bat issue, the whole place stinks of bat poo and urine and it is everywhere. You cannot leave anything uncovered because of the bats. The smell is unbearable and they are out of control with the bats. The only time you can enjoy is driving round the park and sightseeing. You have to disinfect everything when you get home. They are even inside the bungalows so the smell is constant. Bedding needs to be replaced, covers are stained and even the pillows are very old and frayed. At least the food was superb.

Lower Sabie is absoluut 'n moet in KNP, silwerskoon, puik diens, restaurante puik. Winkel bonus, net duur. Wildritte uit die boek uit, paaie goeie toestand. Het groot 5 beleef, rivieroewer waar mens ure in kamp net kan sit. Prag sonsondergang, stilte en skoon lug. SA op sy beste.

The unit I booked was a self-catering unit, although there were no utensils or equipment to cook my food.

It is a nice place to crash for the night. I am not sure what the self-catering includes, but in the previous places when they say self catering, they provide you with equipment to cook your own food like plates, utensils and a pan/pot. I borrowed a pan from reception which was very helpful, since I did not bring along anything except food. But otherwise our stay was great! Thank you!

Ons het 'n klompie wild gesien wat 'n belewenis was.

Op ons tweede dag daar het ons 'n luiperd op ons pad gesien wat lekker uitgerek gelê het op 'n klip. Ek beveel aan dat as jy gaan kuier juis om wild te sien moet jy by die hekke uitgaan wanneer hulle oopmaak. Dit is wanneer jy die beste wild sal sien. Vat genoeg koffie saam in jou fles want die pad kan maar lank raak en beplan jou roete die vorige aand. Ons het 'n paar toeriste gehad wat maar vinnig verby die roetes ry wat wild wegskrik dus het ons maar vroegoggend uitgery sodat ons eerste op die pad kan wees en alles vir onsself kan hê. Die olifante kan jou 'n goeie 40 min ophou want dit was warm en het koelte gesoek maar was 'n prentjie wat jy nie vir enige persoon kan verduidelik nie. Dit is 'n moet uitstappie en sal beslis weer teruggaan sonder twyfel.

We saw a bunch of wildlife which was an experience.

On our second day there, we saw a leopard on our way, lying comfortably stretched out on a rock. I recommend that if you are visiting specifically to see wildlife you should go out at the gates when they open. This is when you will see the best wildlife. Take enough coffee with you in your flask because the road can be long and plan your route the night before. We've had a few tourists drive past the trails that scare wildlife away so we just drove out early in the morning so we can be first on the road and have everything to ourselves. The elephants can hold you up for a good 40 min because it was hot and looking for coolness but was a picture that you cannot explain to any person. This is a must trip and will definitely go back again without a doubt.

Nader aan die natuur kan jy nie!

Lower Sabie is wonderlik geleë teenaan die rivier. Die naggeluide van die seekoeie is wonderlik! Ongelukkig a.g.v. Covid kon ons huis nie skoongemaak word nie, maar die huise is baie goed uitgerus.

Die feit dat ons in die park gebly het was awesome.

Die hut waarin ons gebly het was egter nie van die skoonste nie, en die reuk was walglik. Alhoewel die beddens opgemaak word daagliks, maak hulle die plekkies nie mooi skoon nie, aangesien daar muisontlasting in die kamer was en die rakke was vol stof. Die ablusieblokke by die swembad se kant is ongelooflik mooi! Aan die ander kant nodig die ablusieblokke vir die kampeerders en hutte dringend opknapping. Die skoonmakers by die hutte maak nie ordentlik skoon nie. Winkels het alles wat mens nodig het en die pryse is regtig redelik! Die toilette vir dagbesoekers is netjies en skoon, asook by die ontvangsarea.

The fact that we stayed in the park was awesome.

However, the cabin we stayed in was not the cleanest, and the smell was disgusting. Although the beds are made daily, they don't clean the areas properly, as there was mouse excrement in the room and the shelves were full of dust. The ablution blocks at the pool's side are incredibly beautiful! On the other hand, the ablution blocks for the campers and cabins urgently need renovation. The cleaners at the cabins do not clean properly. Shops have everything you need and the prices are really reasonable! The toilets for day visitors are neat and clean, as well as at the reception area.

Our stay was rather short but we enjoyed it all the same.

The chalet was clean and it was good to have the kitchen inside so that we didn't have to fight off monkeys or birds. However, thankfully we didn't experience this here. Our chalet was not fully stocked which is a problem when you get back late and find that there is a shortage of glasses and the kettle is not working.

Die eenhede is baie skoon en prakties. Word daagliks skoongemaak en die lugreëling ‘n lafenis in die Desember-hitte. Daar is baie wild om te sien op die hoofpad tussen Skukuza en Onder Sabie. Staan net vroeg op. Jy gaan beslis leeus, wildehonde en selfs ‘n luiperd sien.
