Accommodation

The Kruger National Park offers a wide variety of accommodation, not only in size, facilities and visual appearance, but also in price range. In addition to the ten main restcamps with accommodation ranging from safari tents to 2 / 3 bed bungalows, family cottages and luxury guest houses, there are also smaller bushveld camps. Camping sites for caravans and tents are provided in nine of the large and three of the smaller restcamps.

All accommodation units are serviced daily and bedding, towels and soap are provided. Most of the units have either air-conditioning or fans. Visitors who are accommodated in units without cooking facilities have to provide their own cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. Barbecue and communal cooking facilities are available in all the camps. Back to Top
