Hotels near Paul Kruger National Park, Skukuza

Extremely good facilities and location. Just a moment right next to Kruger Gate. Glad we stayed here rather than the park. Self drove the park which we would recommend rather than organised trips. See as much.

Hi. The breakfast was very good to start off the day.

This place is simply amazing. The tents are super nice and clean provided with mosquito nets and air conditioning. Private bathroom as part of the tent. The staff is very friendly and you can easily connect with other people during game drive or at the camp fire. Game drives were fantastic! We have seen all the big 5 and our guides Karabo and Floyd are very knowledgeable. We also really enjoyed the food. The star is the braai (bbq) which offers options for meat lovers and vegetarians. I was surprised how good the oxtail was. The starter soups are also amazing. Vegetarian options were also available on request. Potential allergies were requested beforehand. For breakfast my favourite was the omelette, but other options are provided as well. Besides all of this you can enjoy the pool surrounded by birds between your game drives and in the night time, the sounds of the bush (yes we heard hyenas while falling asleep, but no need to worry, all is safe as a fence separates you from the wild animals!). Don’t forget to loop up at night and enjoy the clear night sky full of stars from the entrance of your tent. Brendan has been super useful to assist us with the tour booking to Sabi Sand

we loved everything about Umkumbe safari lodge. the staff were incredibly nice and anticipated every need. the views from the property were amazing. we saw a troop of baboons and a herd of elephants. then the safaris! our guide Shannon was so awesome! she found so many animals and had a wealth of information about every animal. it was unforgettable!!!

Everything is outstanding: the staff, the rooms, the game drives. The food, it’s amazing. Lunch, dinner , the menu change all the days with lots of incredible options. Caesar our driver, unbelievable. Incredibly friendly and always doing his best for the group

this was the best stays that we have ever experienced. We left feeling like we were leaving our family behind. front desk was fantastic and always so kind to answer our many questions. The food was delicious. They offer massages that were fantastic! The best part about this entire experience were the safari guides.they are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs here and they really want the guests to enjoy each ride and get to see the animals they’re most excited about. I highly recommend this lodge for your stay. With this private lodge you get more up close and personal with the animals but with safe distance. We stayed 4 days and saw the big 5 which was really amazing.
