include(DIR_WS_ROOT.'about/news/news_code.php'); ?>Sable Sleepover Hide, situated approximately 10 km from of Phalaborwa Gate, is a unique accommodation facility where guests can feel part of nature. A bird hide by day, it transforms into a primitive overnight dwelling by night, where a select few can experience the Kruger National Park nightlife first hand. The hide overlooks the Sable Dam where an abundance of animals gather to drink. Hear the lion roar and the hippo grunt meters away from where you are sleeping and know this is a true African experience.
