There are almost 200 safari lodges in and around the Kruger Park and most of these are of an international standard. However, we suggest that you make sure that the one you pick is graded with the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa. This will ensure that you get the desired standard of accommodation that you prefer.
It’s important to remember that Kruger National Park is not a zoo: specific animal sightings are not guaranteed, and safari guides rely on your eyes and ears just as much as they do their own for spotting game. We sometimes went hours without seeing much more than a few grazing impala, but it was that unpredictability, that tense excitement of never knowing what we might see next, that made the safari so magical.
