The best accommodations Kruger National Park

Nearby Olifants is the Mozambican section of the park in the central area of the Kruger (Porte or Phalaborwa). More exclusive than the busy camps, it only offers bungalows or cottages, comfortable but still far from being luxurious. Its charming restaurant, its panoramic panorama on the river Olifant, frequented by groups of elephants, hippos and crocodiles, its guided rides in mountain biking in the bush… the assets of the camp are numerous. We often see lions getting around around. If you do not have the means to stop there for lunch and enjoy the view from the panoramic restaurant. Service station, supermarket.

With its restaurant on the Letaba River, the Elephants Museum and tents, there is a beautiful atmosphere. Visit the water points Malopenyana and Middelvlei, and you will probably see pachyderms, because the camp is famous for being an oasis appreciated by them. Camp located at Phalaborwa Gate, in the centre of the park, ideal for a first or last night passing through this door. On-site: distributor, restaurant, cafeteria, service station and swimming pool!

Satara Camp is a camp of rudimentaires bungalows, a little more comfortable with the kitchenette. But we come here for the location, in the heart of the park (closest door: Orpen) in an area populated by lions, hyenas and other cats, but also giraffes, buffalo and antelopes (their pantry). On-site swimming pool, supermarket, restaurant, service station… A nice camp, with game drive. Small budgets can camp and sleep in less expensive huts in the Balule satellite camp, well placed too.

On the Pioneer Dam, in the Mopane plain, in the centre of the Kruger (Porte Gate). Practical camp if you go north, well filled (restaurant, supermarket, swimming pool, laundry, petrol station) with lots of hippos to observe on the river. On the other hand, no first-price accommodation, that bungalows at least.
