Self-catering

Kruger lodges offering facilities for guests to self-cater their safari, some offering chefs to prepare the food which you supply

Djuma Galago

Traditional family-friendly self-catering on superb north Sabi Sand boundary with Kruger and with Buffelshoek traversing. A 'Vuyatela-lite' with comfort but less stars and spangle. Excellent guides.

Djuma Vuyatela

Self-catering for grown-ups in Sabi Sand seems oxymoronic, but Vuyatela succeeds with style. Lively dam with Big Five in camp. Look-out tower. Opulent suites with views over water.

Raptors Lodge

Safe, comfortable, clean lodge, centrally located within walking distance of Hoedspruit facilities including shops, restaurants, spa, doctor. Twenty thatched bedroom pairs each sleeping four.

Satara restcamp

Neither much to look at, nor situated at obvious water, Satara surprisingly is public Kruger's hotspot restcamp for big cats. Evening drives produce lions on tar roads. The S100 nearby is good for leopards. Cheetah roam the plains.

Skukuza Restcamp

A citadel in the bush, sleeping 1,000 incl. staff when full, offering town services incl. hospital, plant nursery, luxury spa, Big Five golf course. Widest accommodation range at all prices. Cleverly laid out. Good game and dense road network.

Letaba restcamp

A large, popular restcamp situated on a sandy perennial river floodplain with active game views from restaurant deck, guest houses and some rondavels. Good facilities. Welcome respite from monotone mopane-tree veld.
