The rest camp is situated on the bank of a dam on the Sabie River, in the southern part of the Kruger National Park, some eleven kilometres from the Mozambican border. The camp takes its name from the nearby Sabie River. With its large lawns and shade trees this camp is a very popular family destination. Due to the abundant foliage and waterholes in the area, game abounds here. At another small dam - Sunset Dam - situated only one kilometre from the camp, crocodile, hippo and various species of birds can be sighted. Kruger is in a summer rainfall area. Such precipitation is usually convectional and can result in heavy downpours. The summer months (October to April) are hot and often balmy. Winters are warm and mild, although visitors going on night-drives will require warm clothing.

The three most popular picnic sites in the Lower Sabie Camp area are Nkhulu, on the Sabie River between Skukuza and Lower Sabie Camp, in excellent Leopard territory, Tshokwane to the north, in the shade of a massive Sausage Tree, so named because of the shape of its large seed pods, which can weigh anything up to 10 Kg and the Mlondozi picnic site in the Lebombo Mountains which also offers an ideal place for a midday break.
