The largest rest camp of the Kruger National Park, as well as its administrative headquarters, Skukuza Restcamp is situated on the southern banks of the Sabie River. Well foliage, with lofty trees along the river’s edge, visitors can expect a diverse amount of animals and plants at this popular camp, as well as a range of activities and facilities. First established as part of the original Sabie Game Reserve in 1898, Skukuza camp is richly historical. Originally known as Sabie Bridge Rest Camp, Skukuza was adapted from the Tsonga word Sikhukhuza. This was the Zulu nickname given to the first warden of the park James Stevenson-Hamilton, who cleared the area of large groups of poachers and outlaws, and was thus nicknamed Sikhukhuza or ‘a new broom’ by the local people.

What our guests have said about this accommodation

DANIE NEL
We brought you rain. Loved the accommodation. The natural friendliness and smiles from the Shangaan people was a highlight
Leon Jacobs
Skukuza Restcamp has become my favourite, and the Cattle Baron restaurant was amazing. The camp is beautifully clean, the bungalows comfortable and spotless. The only downer to the stay was the ranger/driver on the nightdrive. He really seemed unknowledgable and drove so fast we all had to scream repeatedly for him to stop once something of interest was spotted.
hennie steyn
No ants, yippy.....
STEFAN FOUCHE
Although we only stayed for one night, it was one of the best experiences. The staff were friendly and the bungalow was amazing, clean and had an air conditioner for the heat. They had everything we needed in the bungalow so we didn't have to buy anything except the food we cooked and the drinks we had. the parking was right next to each bungalow so we didn't have to walk far from the car. It is a very peaceful place to go and I recommend it for your trip. ten out of ten
Cornea Bruyns
We had a exceptional visit to the park. 2 leopard sightings and 6 lion sightings. As always the camp sites are clean, neat and tidy. A great time of the year to visit.
Andries Van Zyl
Excellent value for money!!
Belinda Roach
This camp has it all, easy access to all main routes and also the roads that have the majority of life happening on them. We ended up back here after staying nights at Berg en Dal, Pretorious and Lower Sabie finding it the most central rest camp for the Southern Kruger area. Also by far the best restaurant and WiFi connection.
sylvie kessler
Nous avons passé une nuit à Skukuza. Hébergement familial (2 chambres séparées) correct, propre, bungalow avec belle vue sur la rivière en contrebas et présence d'animaux (hippopotames, impalas...). Bon restaurant, cadre agréable, copieux et prix très raisonnables. Route magnifique entre Skukuza et Lower Sabie : plein d'animaux (lions, éléphants, zèbres, etc...) et beaux paysages, dont un petit étang avec crocodiles.
Marcos Fidelis
It was perfect for the cost of the trip.
JEAN LUC BRUNON
Very good restaurant near the river, the better of the three rest camp we stay.
Majlen Sjoholm
Big house with lots of space foe a Group of friends. Good beds and friendly house keeper. Hope to stay there again.
MARIUS KUHN
Accommodation good. Restaurant excellent.
petunia Mabuse
The best rest camp in Kruger....the restaurant food was excellent and the rooms were immaculate. Although short-lived this was the best place to stay at. I will most definitely recommend it to friends and family
Gert Barnard
Enjoy it thanks, clean room, friendly staff members, only a joy to visit the Kruger
DITTE LUND SOGAARD
Thank you for a fantastic experience! We had a great experience and are defenately coming back.
Julie Braby
Enjoyed our one night stay
Roberta DAngelo
Our room was facing the river, it was big, clean and very nice! The restaurant was great! We didn't want to leave.
Georg Ritschl
We were impressed with the professional attitude shown by all staff. Thanks for a great stay. Accommodation was clean and well maintained. We saw all the big 5 in one day, even a Leopard.
ANGELINA MONTOEDI
The experience was awesome.
Leonardus Voncken
Good
Helma van Rooyen
The rondavel was cool and reasonably clean. We enjoyed our stay very much.
THABO MODIBA
I had a very fantastic stay at your place and thank you for everything.
MICHAEL ZIEGLER
Everything went well and quick. It was clean, the restaurants have a nice view where you can see elephants and buffaloes drinking and eating at the riverside. The services are good. The supermarket has just enough. The prices are reasonable or even cheap to European standards. The weaker points maybe be the swimming pool and the internet connection in the restaurant (dropping all the time). In the restaurant we had to wait about 90 minutes for our food because the electricity went off.
Aileen Muilwijk
Bungalows were too small for 3 people, but clean and neat and comfortable. Food at Cattle Baron excellent, shop great, grounds need attention, no grass to be seen for kids to play on, swimming pool good.
Kristyl Best
The Camp Skukuza was really lovely. The grounds were very neat and the shop was well stocked with everything you could need. Our little rondavel was clean and had everything we needed. The air conditioner was old but worked really well. The only issue was there was a very strong smell of diesel in our room.
MICHAEL HASSEN
It's really great and good value for money.
TRISH HENDERSON
We stayed one night and were pleasantly surprised at the size of the camp and everything was well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Gaston
It rates as one of my best holiday experience. Value for money. I appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the accommodation. An all round magnificent experience!
Michael Sampson
Very good.
FRANCOIS PRETORIUS
The Safari Tent was great stay.
Cindy Mc Carthy
The booking procedure was excellent. Could not have done it better myself. In just two days everything was booked and organized.
Graham Purkis
Great First Trip to Skukuza. Accommodation was simple but scrupulously clean & everything we needed was provided. The staff were friendly & helpful - great value for Money. I would definitely visit again. Plenty of Game sightings including the big 5 in one day - not often that happens!
Andre Olivier
Everything neat, clean. Was wonderful.
Ian Mclauchlan
Good to see the park again! The restaurant is really good with good food! Its a pity about the service from the staff at the restaurant, this needs to be addressed, however overall loved the stay at the camp.
Carey Kennard
We had a fantastic stay. Accommodation was very comfortable and there was not complaints.
Deon Loock
Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. As expected, December in the Kruger is bound to be hot, but what wasn't expected was the temps soaring to 45C! Luckily our unit was equipped with air con . An absolutely must-have in December ! Wildlife around Skukuza is never an issue and it didn't take us long to tick off the big 5. We were fortunate enough returning to camp one afternoon to run into a pack of about 15 wild dogs on the Phabeni road. Awesome experience as they were running on the tar road for about 1 km in front of the vehiclesDefinitely enjoyed the stay and had some golf at the Skukuza Golf Club as well
Cornus Du plooy
Very nice.
Nic Grobbelaar
We have stayed here before in the Chalets, this time in a caravan. Park well laid out, Great restaurant and shop. Clean ablutions, well maintained. Staff friendly and helpful. Would suggest it to anyone.
NOELINE BONNER
We had a river view unit, and we loved every minute staying at Skukuza.
Ana Alfaiate
Everything was great: the camp, the tent and the staff in different places like the restaurants, reception, Wcs. Thanks! I will come back!
Sandy Brennon
Excellent.
justice mabasa
We enjoyed ourselves.
Fay Renney
Accommodation clean and comfortable. Staff extremely friendly and helpful
ANn ALLCOCK
Entry at Phalaborwa gate very efficient. Check in at Skukuza fast and efficient. Accommodation in safari tent as expected basic but clean.
Mattijs Dhoedt
We really enjoyed our stay at Skukuza Restcamp. The service was great with very friendly staff that even personally came to say hi at the end of our stay. Food was also very good and the rooms and other accommodation very tidy. This blended perfectly together with the amazing scenery of the park so definitely worth it to stay overnight!
Nicole Doyer
Ontvangs was by hek en kamp uitstekend, effektief en vriendelik. die kampplek was skoon asook ablusie geriewe. wildtuin droog maar wonderlik.
Antoinette Myburgh
A lovely stay with amazing client service. We logged a call regarding the aircon which was faulty, and within a hour the technician had accessed the problem and replaced the aircon! Thank you!
Parsons Keith
Nice bungalow - pleasant staff - nice restaurant. Will certainly stay there again
Peter Massey
Our 4 nights at Skukuza were terrific. The room was very clean and comfortable. The surrounds were well maintained and attractive. The shop was well stocked with basic essentials plus a few extras. The restaurant was excellent.
Susanne Ott
Tent was better than we thought. Beds were comfortable and we slept good.
Pat Redman
Excellent campsites and ablution facilities. Busy campsite, so suggest early check in to get best possible sites.
Emilia Ferri
Campo molto grande , forse un po' troppo.. .. Purtroppo , dzl tramonto, manca visibilità nei viali.
Ian Proudfoot
Great cottages with superb river view and remarkably quiet considering that we were staying in a small town!
RYAN THOMSON
Awesome time, was very busy but were still able to do our thing and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
JACOMINA ROSSOUW
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Other campers were also friendly. Night drive not to bad. Didn't see to much but I know that can happen.

So happy with the friendly and helpful service in getting accommodation sorted for KNP over September holidays. Have already made my next booking request. Highly recommended service.
Marilyn Nel
This was the biggest camp we stayed at. Each one is special in its own way. I am looking forward to my return visit.
Antony
This is our 7 time at Skukuza. The nicest big camp. Great Cattle Barron Steak restaurant. Ideal for game viewing.
sandra pollastrini
We had a super experience with the Bushbabies having a serious argument in the tree outside our unit. We had never seen a bushbaby so close.
Jaco van der Westhuizen
Bush walk was nice. Didn't see many animals but the outing was enjoyable. Our stay in the bungalow was neat and comfortable. Definite revisit in the future!

Anne-Marie SCHEEPERS
Absolutely wonderful! From reception, garage, shops, restaurants, hospitality, bungalow attendance (cleaning). Nothing to point a finger towards. Made me feel like a queen! Thank you so much.
PATRICIA AUGHEY
Very good accommodation, very friendly and helpful staff, worth every penny.
Marcos Almeida
Enjoyed most of my stay at Skukuza. Unfortunately, the arrival day rained most of the day and we arrived a bit early and there wasn't much to do while we waited till the 2 pm checking time for the bungalows. After we got accommodated, things got much better and we enjoyed a lot the sunset safari and the rest of our stay in the camp area. The Park is amazing and, not guaranteeing that we'll see all of the area's wildlife, there are always pleasant surprises in the Park area.
EDMOND ROWLEY
Good.
Jan Boshoff
Very satisfactory. The rondavels were clean and neat and very well stocked for self catering.
Giulio Magni
I probably stayed in the same hut 30 years ago and nothing has changed. Reception staff were great.
Annetjie Stoltz
We entered at Malelane gate, camping at Skukuza site, Every one was very helpful and the service was very good. Ablutions at Skukuza was very neat and clean, it was a pleasure camping there, I experience that Lower Sabie's toilets for day visitors was not always up to standard, Pretoriuskop very neat and clean and the new Restaurants and take a way's are a plus for the Park. Next time I will go for longer than 16 days it was worth it. Thanks to all the staff "SKUKUZA YOU ROCK"

Safari.com are the best for your African Safari holiday!
My experience with booking my Southern Africa tour with Safari.com was amazing. The Safari Consultant I was working with (special shout out to Keagan Davids) was the most helpful, responsive, polite and awesome person to work with. I originally tried to book a safari holiday with a local agent in Australia and was getting nowhere fast. I decided to do some leg work myself and put a request in for some advice on safaribooking.com. It was the best thing I could have done! I only wished I had planned my first half of the holiday with Safari.com given the ease and expertise they have provided. I highly recommend their service - you will not be disappointed!

Simply The Best
We are now home from our trip and am writing to thank you for organising such an amazing adventure. We cannot fault anything about the trip from start to finish. Buffalo Camp was fantastic - the accommodation, the food and the hospitality too but most of all our game drive guys who were awesome. We saw the ‘big 5” and more. Slon and Forest went above and beyond to find the animals we wanted to see. Then we transferred to Victoria Falls River Lodge and became part of a family. I can hardly find the words to describe it. From sitting in our plunge pool watching a crocodile swimming up the Zambezi to our helicopter ride over Victoria Falls and everything in between. What a beautiful place run by beautiful people. We were invited back by both Buffalo Camp and Victoria Falls River Lodge and hopefully we can do that in the not too distant future and if it becomes possible we will not hesitate to use Safari.com again. We truly recommend your services. Once again, thank you for organising the best holiday we have ever had and one we shall treasure forever. Best wishes.

Pascal should be your Go-to consultant - 5 stars
Pascal was wonderful to work with. We wanted to stay in Sabi Sands during peak season and were having a lot of trouble finding a great lodge to stay in. Pascal was able to find us a lodge that met our needs, call the lodge to ensure they had the rooms we wanted, book flights, transfers, etc. and was very attentive and easy to talk to. He made sure to get back to us quickly and when he said he would. He was always available and I would recommend using him and safari.com to anyone looking into a safari in the future.

Superb short Safari
We were referred to Safari.com through a UK safari holiday company. We were dubious at first about dealing with a company in South Africa but we found Safari.com and in particular Mr Keagan Davids, very easy to comunicate with. He was very communicative and made all the necessary arrangements. Unfortunately, the safari lodge we'd booked got flooded out so Keagan found an alternative lodge Called Kapama River Lodge. It was great. Very nice accommodation. Great efficient and friendly staff etc. We were not disappointed. All of the arrangements went like clockwork so we'd highly recommend Safari.com

Booking for Addo Elephant Park…
I made a booking for Addo Elephant Park through Safari.com. The instructions were clearly conveyed to me regarding the payment of a deposit to secure the booking. The service received from the lady I dealt with was very professional. For example, upon requesting a change in accommodation type, the request was promptly attended to and I was informed accordingly which I noticed was outside office hours. Proof of secured accommodation was sent promptly and reminder for payment of balance was send well in advance of final date. Finally, once payment was cleared, I received the booking voucher as well as forms to be filled in by all passengers upon entrance as well as the conservation fees to be paid. All in all it was a pleasure to deal with Safari.com and we are looking forward to our stay in ADDO ELEPHANT PARK. Thank you.

Chantal Young is awesome to plan with!!!
Chantal Young was so nice and accommodating. We were between safari lodges and she really sold us on Dulini with her chill and approachable attitude. She gave us more than enough information while letting us feel like the decision was ours and was flexible to providing multiple options. Can't reccommend her enough!

Spending 40 years in the travel…
Spending 40 years in the travel industry and taking several Safari to Kenya, my wife and I reached out to Dolan at Safari.com to help plan our S. African Safari to Kruger. Dolan handled all aspects of the planning including transfers to and from airport, plane reservations and lodging at the 5-star Leopard Hills lodge. With just a couple of emails he made the planning seamless. every aspect was on-time, and all responses were very timely. We can't wait to go back and would highly recommend Dolan at Safari.com

Unorgettable trip in South Africa
We have spent 12 days as a family in South Africa with my 3 children and my wife who is in a wheelchair. Thanks to Pascal, Safari.com consultant, we were able to spend an unforgettable moment with a great program while being well accompanied despite our constraints. I recommand particularly the "Monwana game lodge" for a safari in Hoedspruit. It's an amazing place with very nice people and a real family atmosphere. Thank you to the entire Safari.com team for this unforgettable trip.

Cape Town miracle
I was in Cape Town, South Africa recently for an athletic competition and had allowed myself a week of personal time to relax and properly conclude the trip, but had not bothered to plan a safari to occupy the time. I was skeptical of the cost and whether I would enjoy the experience, however a couple days into that final week it occurred to me, in a bit of a panic attack, what a waste it would be not to take advantage of this opportunity. I hopped online and started looking at flights to Johannesburg (almost all the safaris in SA start there with an early morning pick up), but it was basically impossible to get a flight early enough and/or to coordinate with the multiple safaris operating in or just outside of Kruger. With no apparent options available to turn my remaining 4 1/2 days into even a 3 day safari I stumbled on the most obvious website one could imagine, Safari.com. I'd completely given up negotiating all the variables on my own but here was a safari travel agent that might be able to help me .. and they were based right out of Cape Town, literally a stones throw from my lodgings. Serendipity, or so i hoped. I immediately sent out an email and crossed my fingers .. for roughly an hour and a half, at which point Dolan from Safari.com responded to me requesting I give him a call so that we could expedite potential arrangements. My in country phone plan wasn't able to make calls, but we arranged for him to call me and not 3 hours after being in the grip of despair Dolan got through to me and far from notifying me of how absurd it was to hold out hope for a literally, last minute safari adventure with barely 4 days available to me, he had already worked out all the details I'd sent and created a preliminary safari trip that would bypass Johannesburg airport for a flight the next morning to a closer, much, much smaller airport where I would be picked up taken, not to a 3 day safari, but a full 4 day safari, then back to the tiny, tiny airport for a return flight to Cape Town with 2 hours to spare for my return leg all the way home. It almost feels like an afterthought, after the minor miracle Dolan was able to conjure up, but the safari itself at Simbavati Lodge was just an absolutely stunning experience. The single "tent" he booked me was as luxurious as any 4 star hotel I've stayed in, the game drives, one every morning, one every evening were more amazing than I could have ever imagined, and the food, 3 meals a day with snacks and an open bar was sublime. I could go on about the wonderful staff, or the wonderful other safari goers you can meet and grab a drink with, or the different animals walking through the open lodge facilities daily .. but I've gone on long enough. I'll simply conclude by saying .. safari, absolutely, yes, do it, it is amazing. And when you do decide, Safari.com will do you right and if you have the pleasure of working with Dolan, do give him my thanks .. the entire experience was the best part of my trip :)

A great company
What to say! We planned a South African Safari for 2020 with Safari.com. We researched companies and took a chance on one we had never heard of before. Henry Franklin was our agent, we gave him our budget and wish list. He came up with a wonderful looking trip and we made our choices! Then came Covid, preventing us from going. We couldn’t have been in better hands. Henry rebooked everything for the next year. He kept us updated on how things looked there. When in 2021, we decided it still looked iffy, he rebooked us a second time for 2022. We couldn’t have been happier with the service we had in a rough time for all. We had a wonderful experience on our trip when we finally got to go!! Henry had everything so well organized and gave us a detailed list of what transfer companies would be meeting us and when. When Airlink bumped us and put us on standby returning from Victoria Falls, we called the concierge number Henry had given us and Catherine worked hard on this and got us back on our flight. The Safari.com team had our back and we have no regrets. Would definitely use them again. Our lodging was wonderful, saw the big 5 within first 2 drives. Henry definitely knew the territory and did a great job matching what we wanted with where he suggested we go and stay. Thanks Safari.com, Henry and Catherine!

Superior service, knowledgeable, transparent, amazing can-do attitude
These guys get 10/10. I have booked with them a few times. To Kruger National Park, including both public and private(concession) camps, flights and car hire. Their senior agent, Dolan is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. Attention to detail, transparency, and 'can-do' attitude are out of the ordinary. I recently came into contact with Tanya at safari.com as well. It looks like all their agents are similarly well trained. Thank you. I cannot recommend Dolan and his team highly enough.

I've recently interacted with Dolan and hands down he's been the best travel agent that I've every worked with. He was a wealth of experience and knowledge which shows volumes. He took into consideration my budget and my individual needs to tailor make a package with recommendations for my preference,he knows Kruger and Greater Kruger like the back of his hands and I will wholeheartedly recommended his services. He is truly an asset to his institution.

Nelia Nyamhanza
Nelia Nyamhanza, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly in designing our trip every step of the way. She listened to our request of places we wanted to visit and advised us on what best to do. This made the whole experience wonderful. Every guide from Ilios was eager to share their culture with us and are kind people, as well as, the guide/driver from Elephant Camp, Victoria Falls. We will recommend others to you so that they can be part of your amazing country.

Excellent service by the agent Jayson Scheffers (Africa Safari Expert). We had little idea of the place and things to do. He made it at all soo easy and planned it so well that it all went smooth. We had a baby with us so we were not sure about the things but he advised us well. All the hotels, pickups etc were well informed about our situation and we did not face any issues. He was always there to answer any questions 24/7. Very personalized service. Highly recommended.
