Lake Panic bird hide is situated less than 7Km from Skukuza Camp. An earthen dam was built across the Mafunyana Creek in 1975 and the lake is the resultant flood water. The curious name comes from the panic that ensued not long after the dam's completion when a huge downpour created significant concern that the dam was at breaking point. The hide is ideal for photography and large mammals like African Elephants are seen on a daily basis. There is a high incidence of Leopard sightings at Lake Panic, even during daytime!

Such rarities like Western Osprey, Lesser Moorhen and African Openbill also turn up at Lake Panic every now and then.
