Sabie River Camp

Sabie River Camp's half an hour's drive from the panoramas over the rainforest at God's Window in Blyde River Canyon National Park – keen birdwatchers can keep an eye out for rare winged creatures like blue swallows and Taita falcons too. While there's plenty of nature to amble around and creatures to spot, you can’t travel in South Africa without seeking a few thrills too. Book adrenaline-fuelled activities like abseiling, white water rafting and zip-wire travailing in Induna, about half an hour's drive away, or simply pitch up at Sabie Falls to climb at the gorge. Further along, at around 45 minutes away, the millennia-old Sudwala Caves are full of fossils for fans of prehistoric sights. They're also right next door to a family-friendly Dinosaur Park, where you can learn about the animals that once roamed the area. Up for heading northbound of Sabie River Camp instead? Bourke Luck Potholes showcase a different sort of natural phenomenon, with the water swirling through the sandstone gorge leaving a pockmarked landscape behind. Walking trails, bridges and viewing areas here let you get up close and personal with this unique landscape around an hour's drive from the park.
