Skukuza is the biggest camp in Kruger and ideally situated in the more luch southern part of the park. It is also very close to the gate. We, as animal lovers, try to visit the park once a year. The area is narmally very warm to excessively warm and humid over christmas. Unfortunately the park is animal orientated and not... More

10 days in Kruger over the Christmas Holiday is certainly what I wanted Santa to bring me. The plan was to explore The Park as much as possible by staying first night at Skukuza, then moving on to Pretoriuskop for the next three, then on to spend an hour or so at Lower Sabie, then up to Letaba via Satara...

Except for the restaurant/cafeteria, the floor was very dirty, as the table and the chair. The service was very slow too ... The room was ok, next time, I might need to bring my own food. Thx More

This was my first visit to Kruger Park and was very impressed by the Skukuza Camp as i have never been to such a place coming from Cyprus in the Mediterranean. We booked a hut and was great for the three of us. A beautiful camp and well organised. The hut was clean and the outside kitchen well equipped. Very... More

We stayed at the Skukuza rest camp for three days to avail of the early morning, evening and night tours conducted by SANP. We stayed in a room facing the river. The rooms are called rondavels and are lovely. It was winter and the blankets they had provided took care of the cold. I was tickled pink that the kitchen,... More

Skukuza has always been too busy a camp for most people to consider it an option when going to Kruger Park. Now with the added conference facilities it is a no go (am I missing something - the show is out in the bush not inside between the walls). The restaurant offers mostly pork and chicken (they say beef and... More

Great locstion but wasted potential. Front yard with poor grass cover and ugly braai circle. no outside seating to enjoy view. no soap in rooms. no lights from living area to bedrooms. This house needs to be improved to make it goog value for money. More

Great location, not-so-great place. Campground was neglected, bathrooms were not cleaned regularly, tent furnishings were shabby. Too bad there isn't another alternative for the budget traveler. Of course, the wildlife, both beasts and birds, more than makes up for this! More
