The Sabie River[1][2] is a river in South Africa and part of the Komati River System.[3]
The catchment area of the Sabie-Sand system is 6320 km2.[4]
It is one of the most biologically diverse rivers in South Africa, with generally good water quality.[5]
Course
It rises in the Drakensberg, flowing eastwards through Mpumalanga into the lowveld.[6] It crosses the Kruger National Park and flows on to Mozambique[7] where it flows into the large Corumana Dam, about 40 km from Moamba.[8] before it finally joins the Komati. Settlements on its banks include Sabie, Skukuza and Lower Sabie.
