This page is for accommodation within Kruger National Park, if you wish to stay outside the park, check out our Surrounding area page.
There are many accommodation options for Kruger, extending from fairly low budget to an eye watering cost. If you are trying to stick to a budget I would recommend SAN Parks accommodation which offers a range of accommodation throughout the park that is pretty good on the budget.
For an extra special experience, why not go back to basics and book an overnight bird hide! Just you, the wildlife and a cabin in the middle of the bush. Read about our experience of the bird hide here...
All the rest camps within Kruger provide accommodation, as well as satellite camps purely with the purpose of accommodation and rustic camp sites as well. These are all fenced off, with the idea that the animals can't get in.... Not always possible though. They provide a range of different types of accommodation from a camping spot (you need your own equipment) to family cottages.
Prices range from <R500 for 6 pax to camp to R8,000 for 9 pax cottages per night.
In price order most camps offer a combination of the below
Camping sites
Huts - communal toilet/shower and kitchen facilities
Safari tents - some have ensuites, some have communal facilities
Bungalows - come with ensuite and kitchenette
Cottages - larger in size with multiple bedrooms & bathrooms as well as a kitchen
All accommodation comes with braai facilities - you wouldn't be in South Africa if there wasn't a braai close by.
For all the information you need to make a decision about what SAN Parks accommodation to visit check out my Kruger Guides or just drop me an email to help plan your trip!
There are some incredible camps within the Kruger itself and you can really have an amazing experience with wildlife on your doorstep as some of these camps aren't fenced.
Luxury - Kruger Shalati - the train on the bridge
Mid to Higher Range - Honeyguide Camps
Budget - Buffalo Rock
Send me an email if you want help planning your trip and getting the best price possible for private accommodation in Kruger, I work off commission (which is built into most quotes already) so this price isn't inflated for you, I usually get a bit of a discount.
The alternative is to stay just outside the park and come in through one of the many gates when you want to explore Kruger.
This is also a good option with a variety of places to stay for a range of budgets, check out our surrounding area page.
There's even place that overlook into Kruger!
