South African Safari Accommodation: Kruger National Park Lodges

Kruger National Park Lodges

The park, which covers a huge area of South Africa, is made up of individual Kruger National Park lodges which form the community of tourism and conservation in the area.

These individual, privately owned reserves each cover thousands of hectares of unspoiled land and are always striking, creating an illusion that much of the accommodation has been carved out of the natural landscape.

The cultures of South Africa are well represented at the various Kruger National Park Lodges, with the vast majority of staff being of local heritage. From the concierge to the game rangers and trackers, the lodges cater to the whims of global travellers without losing the diverse yet distinct South African charm.

What To Do at A Kruger National Park Lodge?

Once you arrive at your Kruger National Park lodge of choice, deciding what to do first will come naturally – but here are some ideas to get you in the African safari adventure mindset:

  • Go for a nature walk at dusk.
  • Enjoy the overwhelming population of stars in the African night sky.
  • Cross as many indigenous African birds as possible off your list.
  • Relax and unwind with a spa treatment.

· Take a wood-fuelled open-air bush shower.

· Tuck into exquisite African cuisine.

· Relax in a hammock in the harmony of the wilderness.

· Spend time with your travel companions (and maybe new friends) around a camp fire.

· Take a micro-light flight, helicopter flip or hot air balloon ride to get a bird’s eye view of the many Kruger National Park lodges and their surrounding beauty.

Blending home comforts with the indigenous style and grace of the African outback, at Kruger National Park Lodges – be it in a chalet, hut, or on even camping and ‘caravanning’ grounds – the intimacy and curiosities of the African wilderness are sure to tug at your heart strings.
