The Sabie River is proven to be the river in South Africa with the most diverse biological fauna and flora. The reason is because it forms a cold finger coming from the mountains of Sabie. The gradient of the river is so high that there is no time for it to heat up in the Lowveld. This then forms the extraordinary habitat for all the fauna and flora.

You will find seven different kinds of Kingfishers along the trip starting with the Giant Kingfisher, the beautiful half-collared Kingfisher  and ending up with the smallest of them all, the Pigmy Kingfisher. The Fish Eagles, Osprey, Cormorants, Herons, Weavers, Thick knees, Lapwings, Crakes etc. can be spotted here, the number is endless.
