Where to begin? This tented camp exceeded all of our expectations. The tents were beautiful - had everything we needed. We booked a river tent and so glad we did, the view was breathtaking and we were lucky enough to have elephants cross the river and walk right past our little balcony. The bed was v comfy, wifi was spotty but better than we expected considering we were in the bush. Staff were amazing - Hazel was brilliant and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a self catering camp so be sure to stock up before arriving so you don’t need to leave the park (there’s a big shopping mall is Hazeyview which is about an hour from the Kruger gate). Stayed for three nights and loved every minute. Can’t wait to come back!

Our stay was unforgettable. From the start, the management and staff made us feel genuinely welcome, always kind and attentive. The rooms were very comfortable, with breathtaking views. Seeing four of the Big Five within just a few hours of safari was incredible. The food was outstanding, and the spa treatments were excellent. If you’re looking for a place to slow down and relax, this is the perfect choice.

We stayed at this lodge for our very first safari experience, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The entire staff and especially the guides were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The tents are beautifully set up and very comfortable. We were initially curious about the lack of air conditioning, but it turned out not to be an issue at all: the ceiling fan keeps things pleasant during the day, and the nights are cool and refreshing. A special mention goes to the chef — the dinners were outstanding, easily comparable to fine dining restaurants we’ve visited elsewhere. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to safari life. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Jocks was the most magical experience in every way. Our ranger Jan was an incredible guide on the safari game drives, and we ended up seeing all big 5. Every meal at Jocks was delicious and an experience of its own. The staff was very delightful. Last but not least, the lodge itself was beautiful, with a massive outdoor space and day bed. I highly recommend Jocks!

We absolutely loved the staff and the very warm welcome!! The accommodations were excellent. The food was phenomenal, and the chef even prepared delicious vegetarian food for half of our family! The airport pick-up staff was friendly and starting showing us animals as we drove from the airport to our lodging. The view of the river from our private patio was just gorgeous, and we witnessed a family of elephants coming down to the river upon arrival. The evening drive and the morning drive were perfect and we were able to see the Big 5… actually only 4 ( didn’t see a rhino) but we all learned so much! We enjoyed every moment and appreciated the parka jackets ( a very cold morning!) and mountain top break with snacks with the morning game drive. FYI: the morning and evening game drives are included with your stay. Highly recommend Leopard Sands for an amazing Kruger Park experience of a lifetime!

Awesome camp with amazing bird life and wonderful views of the river Great shop with an excellent range of products . The train restaurant on the other side of the caravan park is very good. The Skukuza Safari Hotel is excellent .The camp is pumping with tourists and has a wonderful atmosphere My only complaint is about the pizza we ordered from the restaurant kiosk -it was soggy , full of garlic and expensive .

Lots to see inside the park, and you can self-drive.

Lots to see inside the park, and you can self-drive. Good animal sightings. The Skukuza rest camp is quite busy, lots of people. The Lower Sabie camp was less busy, and lovely views from the restaurant.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Rating: ★★★★☆ Natural Beauty and Great Dining Marred by Neglected Infrastructure The Skukuza area remains one of the most stunning regions of Kruger National Park. Despite some operational challenges, the sheer abundance of wildlife—ranging from massive elephant herds to frequent lion and leopard sightings along the Sabie River—is breathtaking. Wildlife and Natural Beauty The scenery is spectacular, especially the riverine forests along the Sabie and Sand River loops, which are prime spots for game viewing. Even from within the camp, you can often see hippos and crocodiles in the river below. Nearby Lake Panic is a must-visit for birdwatchers and photographers seeking a peaceful atmosphere. Dining Highlights Skukuza offers some of the best dining variety in the park: Kruger Station: This unique lifestyle precinct is built into a beautifully restored historical train station. You can dine inside old train carriages or on the deck. The menu is diverse, featuring standout items like venison pies and artisan pizzas. Cattle Baron Steakhouse: Known for its "grilled perfection," this is the go-to spot for a quality steak. The large outdoor deck overlooking the river provides one of the best dining views in the entire park.

Spacious and comfortable room and lovely pool and gym facilities. Immediate access the park so great for self-drives or guided tours. The breakfast buffet was excellent but the evening buffet was pretty average, however, there are other restaurant choices within walking distance.

Overall excellent stay at Shalati. From arrival it was a truly world class experience with excellent service. The views from the train and deck were second to none and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Worthwhile reading the booklet provided to get a full understanding of the history of the park and bridge and the impact of the hotel on the local community. The staff were excellent and greeted our group by name at meals and even through in a birthday cake and dance although we didn't mention the birthday.

Great house with HUGE bedrooms with HUGE comfy beds. Plenty of space to put things with the wide shelf behind the bed really helpful when packing/unpacking. We were met upon arrival by Phillmon and the house was cleaned during the day. Phillmon also laid and lit the firepit each night at 6pm, which was a nice touch. The directions are accurate, but it is further down the lane than you think, just keep going! A big bonus is being able to use the hotel restaurant, where the food was superb.

I really enjoyed my stay here! Highly recommended from a Canadian traveller. Nice quiet location with acess to Kruger gate hotel, pool and restaurant, it was the perfect location for me! Easy access to Kruger where the photos of elephants and giraffe are from! The baboons were right outside as well as other fun wildlife!

Nice and relaxed , even if it is a big hotel never had the "holiday factory" feeling. Lots of animal sighting from the pool area. Perfect combination of relaxed holiday and Kruger Park visits. Breakfast and diner are amazing with good food and so many choices!
