Happy holidays and best wishes for 2026!

Our offices are closed for the festive season, but we’ll be back and ready to reconnect on 2 January 2026. Wishing you a joyful, safe, and restful holiday! See you in the new year!

Due to recent heavy rains in the Sabie area, water levels at Mac Mac Pools and Lone Creek Falls are dangerously high and pose a serious safety risk. For your safety, do NOT approach the water or attempt to swim.

Celebrate the season with nature at our ecotourism sites. Respect nature, leave no trace, and enjoy a safe, peaceful experience.

As we step into 2026, we look forward to a year of growth, sustainability, and innovation. At SAFCOL, we remain committed to creating value for our stakeholders while nurturing our forests and communities.

Due to heavy rainfall in the Sabie area, please be advised that Lone Creek Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Forest Falls, and Mac Mac Pools are temporarily closed until further notice.
