Sabie Falls, Scenic viewpoint in Sabie, South Africa.
Sabie Falls is a scenic viewpoint in Mpumalanga where water drops through a lush valley surrounded by thick forest. The site features several observation platforms positioned at different heights to view the cascade and the landscape below.
The falls became known during the 1870s gold rush when Scottish miners settled near water sources in the region. This early activity transformed the area into a gathering point for people working in mining and trade.
The falls serve as a meeting point for local residents who gather at designated picnic areas to celebrate traditional festivals throughout the year.
A marked pathway guides visitors to several observation platforms offering different views. The site is accessible daily and works well for visits at any time, though early morning tends to be less crowded.
The site is part of a route connecting eight different waterfalls, each showing distinct rock formations. This connection allows visitors to experience and compare multiple natural formations in a single visit.
