Amazing hotel! Cleaned, nice staff, beautiful local, and tasty food. It was possible to see elephants by the pool. Safari Guide Karabo was kindful and smart, we could see big five animals at a distance of 2 meters!!!! We highly recommend do the safari with him.

Everything was excellent. The back-power was a lifesaver, as was the misquito net over the bed. The Alexa voice system for controlling lights etc. was very useful. We had lots of animal visitors: warthog, duiker, bushbuck, impala, wildebeest and eight male kudu. P.S. We accidentally set off the alarm and an armed security guard arrived within minutes. This made us feel very safe!

What an amazing place!!! The tents were beautifully appointed, so luxurious. We had a front tent overlooking the river and were able to see lots of game at the river & around our tent, including Zebra, Impala, a Hyena, Bush Buck & Vervet Monkeys. The staff were wonderful, so attentive & helpful. Special shout-out to Aubrey who was on duty overnight, kept us safe & shared some stories with us. This was the absolute highlight of our stay in Kruger, we will definately stay again.

The Safaris were great, in the large concession area they go off the roads through the bush. There are several river beds. Not the focus, but the landscape is also really beautiful!

Ten stars is not enough, it was a perfect experience! - Wonderfully modernized hotel. - Top quality staff. - Very nice restaurant. Because it's in a camp, you can take sunrise tours and night tours, I would recommend staying more than 2 days. Another big advantage was the ability to make reservations through Booking.com, while other accommodations at the camp had to be booked through the official national park website.

    Skukuza is a gem—especially if you want that mix of real bush experience without giving up comfort. It’s one of the bigger camps in Kruger, so there’s quite a bit going on, but it still manages to feel peaceful. Favourite spots: We really enjoyed the early morning drives around the park. We were self-driving but cleverly kept an eye on the guided tour operator vehicles, and that helped us catch most of the big sightings. It made the whole experience exciting and rewarding. Where we ate: We mostly self-catered but had a nice meal at the Kruger Hotel on our first evening after arriving past 7 pm. Most of our shopping was done at the Park Shop inside the camp—it was well-stocked and convenient. We even bought some game meat (like kudu and impala), which we braaied once we returned to Rixile. It was delicious and made for a real bush-style dinner. Getting around: Very easy. The camp is drivable and well signposted. If you’re self-driving (as most people are), Skukuza is a great central base for game drives, with plenty of routes and good animal sightings in every direction. Activities for groups of friends: Game drives are the highlight—we had some unforgettable ones. I'd also suggest booking a guided morning drive and, if you're feeling adventurous, trying different types of game meat like wildebeest, crocodile, or impala. It’s a fun experience to share as a group. Evenings back at camp were equally special—braaiing under the stars, swapping stories, and comparing notes on sightings. Skukuza offers just the right balance of wild and comfortable.

    I saw loads of the animals I was looking for, Giraffe, Rhino, Impala, Crocodile, Elephants Kudu, and even a couple of Lions and 2 Leopards. Saw the Wild Dogs and Buffalo. I also played golf at Skukuza Golf Club which was a bit of fun. Everyone was friendly and we always felt safe.

    Located close skukuza gate of the Kruger national park. It was value for money. Friendly staff and helpful. Missed having a kitchen portion, as it was not self catering. Really enjoyed our stay there.

    Great park, amazing wildlife, fantastic experience.

    Great park, amazing wildlife, fantastic experience. This being said, it is not a zoo! Don't expect to see all the existing animals in the parc! Some are easy to spot and other not so much, this is real animal kingdom and it's difficult to say who is watching who! Sun sets are also amazing with beautiful colors. Vegetation is small but dense(bushes). According to our guide it is easier to spot the animal during winter / dry season. Bushes hve less leaves making easier spotting animals and the animals gather around the water spot. During summer it is the opposite. Bushes are more dense and r'there is water everywhere making animal spotting more difficult. So an advice: winter is great for animals but of course temperature are lower so be prepared for low temperature and bring some warm clothes.

    This is a 10/10 property. Right in the Kruger national park, so close to the Skukuza airport and has an incredible view of the river. Even though we went during the wet season we saw plenty of animals including lion cubs. The staff here ensure that you get the best service, they are super attentive and friendly (our wait staff, particularly Polite and Sma were wonderful)! Our guide Sidney was a legend. This is a truly unique and luxury experience, we would highly recommend!!

    Beautiful cottage in the bush, very tastefully furnished to a very high standard. The location is fantastic both proximity to the Kruger Park and to the Kruger Gate Hotel. Great birdlife and buck appearing from the bush occasionally. The host couldn’t have been friendlier and more welcoming. You can see a lot of thought and care has gone into this property. A highlight of our stay in the area! Will definitely go back !

    A beautiful home with all the luxuries you could hope for. Heated pool, sunny terrace, private boma and well-kitted kitchen. The bedrooms, outside shower and relaxing bath felt like a personal hotel suite within the home. Also the excellent service (from the reception to the daily cleaning staff) deserve a special mention. We loved our stay.
