Sunset Dam, about 1km from the entrance of Lower Sabie camp, is one of the finest venues in the Kruger National Park to observe aquatic species at close quarters.
Here birders will find Cormorants, Herons, Kingfishers, Weavers and Storks in abundance, while the Marabou, Saddle-billed, Woolly-necked, Yellow-billed and Black Stork can at times be seen simultaneously. White-crowned Lapwing (Plover) appears to be resident on the river side of the tar road in the area of Sunset dam. It also provides great sightings of crocodile, hippo, impala, warthog and it is a favourite hunting spot for wild dogs, which regularly attack herds of impala that gather to drink at sunset.
