Crocodile Kruger Safari Lodge
"I think everything was amazing in this lodge! The cottage that I was had refrigerator, microwave, airfryer, dishes and everything for you to cook by yourself and make your own food (which I think marvelous!). The bed was absolutely comfortable and the location was perfect! near the crocodile river and among many wild animals around."
Guduza Guest House
"Cleanliness Smart Service Walkable"
Kruger Park Hostel
"Best hostel in Kruger!!! Was upgraded to a private room at no additional cost, but also slept in the dorm room for a night and it was great! Rooms are clean, towels are provided, showers are strong, staff is very welcoming!!! People that stay here as guests are also friendly. Dinner is included and pretty good! But the highlight of it all was the 3-day camping trip to Kruger Park. It was my first one, so I didn’t know what to expect, but it was an AMAZING experience! Shoutout to our guide Robert who knew absolutely everything about all the animals in the park, definitely made the trip a lot more interesting!! 10/10 recommend staying here, will definitely be back!!"
Meerkat Manor
"The location is very convenient to the Crocodile Bridge entrance of Kruger National Park. It is a great value especially considering the property is very well maintained, has air conditioning (helpful during summer), and lovely gardening. It is located in a quiet and upscale section of town on a small ridge, but very convenient shopping and restaurants. If I'm ever back in the area, I hope to stay there again."
Komati River Chalets
"The location, staff , room and amenities were outstanding. Loved our visit . The other couples also where more than happy with our stay"
Umvangazi Rest - Enjoy a Relaxing, Rejuvenating and Peaceful Setting in the Bush
"The place is very spacious and well provisioned, There is essentially all the basic cooking/food prep requirements there"
