The Kruger National Park is world-renowned as one of the largest game reserves in Africa and is home to an abundance of wildlife, including the famous big five. The park's northern tip is home to the private Makuleke concession and home to The Outpost Lodge - an intimate getaway destination that overlooks the breathtaking floodplains of the Limpopo Province.
Children over the age of 10 years are welcome at the lodge.
Children aged 10 to 11 years pay 50% of the full adult rate if sharing with parents.
Children aged 12–18 years pay the full adult rate.
Children of all ages are welcome at Pel’s Post (paying the full adult rate).
Please note that the rooms at both Pel’s Post and The Outpost are "open-air" with open balconies and that the lodge and swimming pool are both unfenced. Children must be supervised at all times.
The Outpost boasts 12 individual Luxury Suites that nestle on a hill and overlook the Luvuvhu River. The suites are connected to one another and the main lodge area by a wooden walkway. Contemporary in design, these open-plan suites are spacious and feature state-of-the-art electric screens that provide 180-degree uninterrupted views of the Luvuvhu River Valley. Each suite includes a comfortable lounge area, an award-winning bathroom with a stone bath and open shower, and an outdoor terrace complete with daybeds.
The private Honeymoon Suite has all the features of the luxury suites but is positioned high above the camp to offer guests 270-degree views of the African bushveld.
The Outpost's new eco-friendly satellite lodge, Pel’s Post, is an exclusive-use establishment that can accommodate 8 guests in 4 well-appointed open-plan suites. A personal chef, private vehicle, and experienced guide provide families or small groups with the flexibility to move at their own pace.
The lodge facilities include a modern à la carte dining room with a bar and wine cellar, a sparkling swimming pool, a viewing deck with spectacular views, a lounge area with a fireplace and library, in-room massage therapies, and a curio shop.
The 26,500-hectare park, which features mopane woodlands, fever tree forests, acacia thickets, and ancient baobab trees, is home to an abundance of wildlife, including large herds of elephants and buffalo, as well as resident prides of lions. The mountainous terrain is attractive to leopards, and rhinos have been successfully reintroduced into the park.
The lodge offers early morning and late afternoon open-vehicle game drives led by qualified guides. For the more adventurous traveler, bush walks are exhilarating and provide the opportunity to learn more about the smaller wondrous creatures of the bush.
Other activities include a local village tour and a history tour, which visits Crooks Corner and the Thulamela archaeological site overlooking the Luvuvhu River.
The Outpost is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a true wilderness safari experience.

Extraordinary Trip to South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
After a year of planning with Safari.com, Luxury Safari Consultant - Leighann Croeser, our long wait was greatly rewarded. In September 2025, we spent 21 extraordinary days in South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Our plan was to start in Cape Town, go to Zulu Nyala and then another safari in Kruger. With expertise guidance from Leighann Croeser, we added in Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge, Victoria Falls, Panoramic Route, and Johannesburg. These additions to our trip, greatly enhanced our FIRST African vacation, adding incredible sites, knowledgeable tours and beautiful accommodations. Our visit to Cape Town was all arranged by Leighann. She gave us hotel choices based on what we wanted to do. We choose the Winchester Hotel. A beautiful location with the popular walking path going around the bay, a delicious restaurant on property, and wonderful rooms with views. We loved the courtyard! We had a wonderful driver, David, for three day who arranged our visit to the Apartheid Museum, Atlas Spice Shop, Table Mountain, Stellenbosch wineries, Cape of Good Hope, and penguins! After four fun filled days, we headed up to Zulu Nylan Safari Lodge for 6 nights, Johannesburg -1 night so we could drive the Panoramic Route staying at Angles View Hotel, Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge – 3 nights and finally Victoria Falls – 4 nights with a both sides tour of Victoria Falls and the Steam Train Dinner. Here is our big note: Flying and driving around to each of these locations takes incredible experience and planning for your trip. Trying to navigation these websites in America was difficult. We can’t tell you how important it is to have someone in Africa to handles these domestic flights, hotels reservations and drivers. Leighann booked all of our interior airline flights, checked us in for every flight, and drivers for every flight. We had a weather delay in Richard’s Bay. Our flight to Johannesburg was delayed 5 hours. Leighann called our hotel - DaVinci, the restaurant we booked for that night (Alto234) and the driver. Upon arrival, we were promptly met by our driver and taken to this beautiful hotel downtown Johannesburg. A little late to dinner but the most incredible evening at the top of Alto234 Bar with endless views. Leighann Croeser is an amazing, highly experience travel consultant for “all of Africa”. We can’t say enough good words about her. She enhanced our visit to an unexpected level of service, a can-do attitude with a grace we have never experienced! When you’re so far away in country, like Africa, you want our Luxury Safari Consultant - Leighann Croeser as your travel adviser!
