Hotels with Parking in Skukuza

The food, and the rooms were very clean and comfortable.

Excellent, I liked the outside breakfast venue

The tent was wonderfully dark at night and blocked out all the external lights. The beds were warm and comfy as were the pillows. The fact the beds were made each morning was a huge unexpected bonus!

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.

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!

Superb location, perfect staff

it was well equipped and well maintained

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!

The property was beautiful and wonderfully maintained.

Rixile Kruger Lodge is an ideal place to spend some days exploring Kruger. The location is very convenient just outside the Paul Kruger gate. Clint was the perfect host. He was very responsive to my questions prior to arrival and checked in on us each day to make sure all was ok. The excellent communication (via Booking and WhatsApp) was much appreciated, especially since we were coming from the US and taking multiple modes of transportation. We were with friends and stayed in the villa, which entailed 3 separate buildings for the bedrooms; a main building with the very well appointed kitchen and living area; a small plunge pool; a braai; and a comfortable patio with large table. The rooms were spotless and bed was extremely comfortable. The whole area was very private and the bedrooms had floor to ceiling windows. There were both indoor and outdoor showers with good water pressure. The shower in one room was kind of in the room with a glass door, so maybe hanging a nice piece of cloth or curtain would be a nice addition. As others have said, the road to the villa was slightly confusing once through the first gate, but Clint provided us detailed instructions so we found it without an issue. The lodge next door is nice for a sundowner over the river or dinner if you don’t feel like cooking. Note that unless walking over in daytime, you will need to drive. We will definitely return to Rixile if back in the area. I wish that we could have stayed longer than 2 nights. Thank you, Clint!
