Backpacker Hostels In Kruger Park
Many people look for hostels in Kruger Park, but they don't exist in the form we know. Instead, on a budget holiday, you could: - Camp
- Stay in huts; or
- Spend a bit more on a safari tent or bungalow
If you still want to stay in a youth hostel or backpackers', there are cheap options within shouting distance of Kruger National Park. If you stay outside the park though, you'll miss the experience of sleeping inside the park and listening to the sounds of lions or hippos at night.If you stay outside the park, you still have the chance to go on safari. Hostels generally run guided tours into the park at reasonable prices. Ask your hostel reception about tours they organise. The tours will normally take you into the park in a four wheel drive. You might even go to a picnic site for lunch. If you do, it's good being out of the car and hearing the sounds of the bush! Our suggestion: stay in the park and go for basic hut accommodation with shared kitchen and bathroom. If you're staying a little longer, buy a tent and other camping equipment!
If you decide to camp or stay in a hut, remember to bring: - A torch
- Mosquito repellent spray
- Braai/BBQ tongs (we like to braai every night!)
- Cutlery and crockery
Campsites cost from R160 per night. The cheapest hut accommodation will set you back R200 per night. Prices are valid until 31 October 2012.
Cheaper accommodation won't stop you from enjoying Kruger National Park. You'll have access to all the same facilities as everyone else. In the absence of proper backpackers' in Kruger Park, there are still options to suit any budget.
