Kruger National Park lodges are very popular. Make your reservation as soon as possible to ensure you get the accommodation you want. If you’re a pensioner, there are special discounted accommodation rates offered from time to time. Ask about them when you make your booking.

There are a variety of hotels near Kruger National Park too. These range from hostels to resorts in private game reserves which border the park.

If you stay outside the park, your safari experience may be disturbed by traffic and sights from the “outside world”.

Also, at night when you’re lying in bed, you may not be able to hear the lions calling each other and the hippos laughing in the river! These are things you can hear from within Kruger National Park.

We hope you find the perfect Kruger National Park accommodation to suit your desired safari experience 🙂
