What to do and see in Sabie, Mpumalanga: The Best Nature & Parks
Sabie is a forestry town situated on the banks of the Sabie River in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The name Sabie is derived from the Tsonga word "Ulusaba" which means fearful, it is derived from the name of the river. The Tsonga called this river Ulusaba ("fearful river") because the river was once teeming with dangerous Nile crocodile. The word Ulusaba was modernized by the Afrikaner colonialists who changed it from Ulusaba (Tsonga) into the Afrikaans "Sabie" .

This reserve has all of the benefits of being adjacent to Krueger National Park with the great bonus of being able to go off-road for the big five. The variety of wildlife, including a small lion pride, and the lack of crowds made it the perfect place to safari. We stayed at Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp. Great food, beautiful accommodations and very informative guides.

The waterfall will take your breath away with its natural beauty and is something truly exceptional to behold. It is easily accessible, about 200m walk from the parking. Can get a bit crowded though. There is also picnic facilities near the falls to make the visit even more worthwhile for the price paid.

i don't know why your reviewer Jenny had trouble finding this : we had a map with the permit. Just go down to the end if the picnic site & follow the signs. Initially by the river, then a forest, then the falls. You come back through another forest. Beautiful place, the only Falls that are wider than they are higher in that part of the world. guide says 4km, but it took us about an hour there and an hour back....plus watching time! Jo from the Graskop leather shop showed us the climbing route up the falls, rather than the road way : you then walk along the river bed at the top before joining the road again. take care though!

A very low R15 at the gate then you head to the car park. There’s a market next to the car park which has art, memorabilia and plants that one can purchase. Then you walk down a short distance to the waterfall. Quite a refreshing sight.

Entrance is R20 per car. About 100m from parking area you can view the waterfall under the bridge which is quite high in the air but it is amazing to see. There are also one or two smaller little fountains surrounding the waterfall. Lovely picnic spot to spend the afternoon.
