Sabie is the largest town in the northern part of Mpumalanga, some 270 km east of Pretoria. It sits on the Sabie river in the northeast of the province. It is said that Afrikaner settlers deriver the name 'Sabie' from the siSwati word 'Ulusaba' which means 'fearful river' because the river was once teeming with dangerous Nile crocodile.

There is an interesting Forestry Museum in town and one of the entrance gates to Kruger National Park is only 60 km east of town. There are numerous scenic waterfalls in the vicinity of town, including Lone Creek Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Maria Shire Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Forest Falls and the Sabie River Falls. Nowadays you will have to pay an entry fee to see most of the falls.

There are several campsites and numerous hotels and restaurants in Sabie.
