According to SANParks, a fire broke out at Lower Sabie Rest Camp, affecting the camp’s shop and restaurant facilities. Fortunately, the camp’s ranger team and staff responded swiftly and successfully contained the fire before it could spread to nearby accommodation units or other infrastructure.
No injuries or fatalities have been reported.
At this stage, the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, and SANParks has indicated that further updates will be shared once more information becomes available.
For guest safety, the restaurant and reception area are currently inaccessible. Travellers with upcoming reservations at Lower Sabie Rest Camp are advised to expect temporary disruptions to normal camp services and should remain in contact with SANParks for operational updates.
