Kruger Park Hotels, South Africa

The South African National Park's accommodation is at rest camps throughout the park, although it's not quite the same as staying in a hotel. Kruger National Park offers you the choice of staying in bungalows, cottages or guest houses if you're after hotel style accommodation (otherwise you camp or stay in huts).

In most cases each unit is free standing or semi-detached. They are serviced daily just like a hotel. You're bed is made and the rooms are cleaned. That's great. You don't have to clean your room yourself when you're on holidays! ;-)

Most of the Kruger National Park hotel units will also have self-catering equipment. If you don't fancy cooking, there are plenty of food and eating out options too in Kruger National Park. Most of the main rest camps have restaurants and cafes to choose between.

The exception to the South African National Park run accommodation are the private concessions within Kruger National Park. They are independently owned areas of the park, but follow the same ideals. The private concessions are all 5 star luxury safari destinations and have prices to match. Meals are generally included.

Hotels Near Kruger National Park

If you wanted to stay in Kruger National Park, but it's booked out for when you wanted to visit, don't worry. Or maybe you simply want more choice about where you want to stay overnight.

Whatever the reason, there's a huge range of hotels to stay at outside the park in Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces. Some are very close to a few of the Kruger National Park entrance gates.

Here are some popular hotels outside the park:

We haven't stayed at any of these hotels before, as we've always stayed in the park itself. If you've stayed at one of them or want to tell us about another hotel you've stayed at near the park, tell us what you thought about it by contacting us. We'll share your comments on our website to help other visitors make the right accommodation choice.

Kruger National Park is within Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces. You might be based at one of the vast number of hotels in either of these provinces and easily make a day trip to the park.

Even if you aren't staying overnight in Kruger National Park, but are in the area, remember to protect yourself against malaria.

If you do decide to stay in a hotel outside the park, the further you are from the park, the more your safari experience could be interrupted by sights from the "outside world" and traffic noise. This is one of the reasons that we always want to stay in a Kruger National Park hotel.
