Infographic of Kruger National Park Camps

Rest Camps

Kruger's twelve rest camps are scattered throughout the park, which stretches 350 km (217 mi) from north to south. Each offers visitors a variety of accommodation options, including campsites to air-conditioned en-suite bungalows with basic kitchen facilities. Most camps provide a small shop and a restaurant for purchasing essentials. Visitors can book activities like bush walks and open vehicle game drives at these camps.

Satellite Camps

Four satellite camps offer a more intimate and rustic safari experience not far from the main rest camps in the Kruger National Park. Accommodation is basic; while these camps are fenced for safety, they maintain a wild, open atmosphere. They feature a very limited number of tents or huts and are an ideal choice for any die-hard safari enthusiast.

Bushveld Camps

These basic camps offer an immersive wilderness experience in secluded bushveld settings throughout Kruger. Accommodations are simple and always require self-catering. While the camps are fenced to keep larger predators out, you will often encounter resident wildlife like bushbuck right on your doorstep. When staying at a bushveld camp, you will enjoy tranquility, far from crowds of people.

Bush Lodges

These are the most luxurious options available through SANParks; they are often booked up long in advance, and for good reason. Bush lodges are located in remote settings and offer well-appointed, air-conditioned rooms—a luxury in South Africa's premier conservation area. They feature ample outside spaces where you can relax and unwind while observing birdlife in ancient trees and the occasional animal wandering by.
