Everything was excellent. The back-power was a lifesaver, as was the misquito net over the bed. The Alexa voice system for controlling lights etc. was very useful. We had lots of animal visitors: warthog, duiker, bushbuck, impala, wildebeest and eight male kudu. P.S. We accidentally set off the alarm and an armed security guard arrived within minutes. This made us feel very safe!

This accommodation is simply out of this world. A once in a lifetime experience! The hospitality of the staff is something I’ve never experienced anywhere in the world. The all inclusive food is exquisite, with the menu changing every day. The rooms on the bridge are so dreamy you could spend all day there. We spotted hippos, elephants, alligators and buffalos from the terrace. The game drives are also exceptional although keep in mind that the jeeps are only allowed to drive on the roads. We managed to spot the Big 5 and more! We were there on our honeymoon and the staff surprised us with a photo frame with a shot they had taken of us and also a nicely decorated room. This made our trip even more special.

We loved everything about Jock. For us, it was a little piece of heaven. We had the most incredible stay of our lives and made the most amazing memories, never to be forgotten. A trip to Kruger is a lifetime experience, and staying at Jock was definitely the cherry on top. If you're reading this and thinking of booking, then do it! You really won't regret it. The staff could not do more for you, you only had to think about another glass of wine and one was put in front of you. My gosh, do they love to feed you too, if it's not breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there is a morning or afternoon snack on the go. Definitely expect to eat your fill here! The rooms themselves are slightly on the small side, but this is more than accounted for in the outside space. A real must is a night outside on the daybed, I tried this (the other half wasn't brave enough), and it was an experience in itself. Our ranger Micha was absolutely incredible. What a true asset to the team at Jock he was. He had a way of ensuring we were in the right spot at the right time to see some of the most amazing widelife sightings you can imagine. His cheeky sense of humour had us on our toes, too, with him clearly enjoying winding us up with his "facts", he was just amazing. The little extras during the game drives, such as indulging in a rangers special (hot chocolate with Amarula) in some of the most spectacular landscapes are also memories to be forever cherished. Nothing is overlooked during a stay at Jock. Hopefully one day we will be able to return.

What an amazing place, to be able to stay in the middle of Kruger on a river bed, is an absolutely amazing experience! The game drives and bush walk were absolutely amazing and the guides were super knowledgeable and professional (the best safaris we had in all of Kruger). Food was really good as well and all the staff was super friendly and helpful! The glamping adds to the whole experience and then being able to dip in the pool in between game drives is surreal. Needless to say, we didn't want to leave.

Ten stars is not enough, it was a perfect experience! - Wonderfully modernized hotel. - Top quality staff. - Very nice restaurant. Because it's in a camp, you can take sunrise tours and night tours, I would recommend staying more than 2 days. Another big advantage was the ability to make reservations through Booking.com, while other accommodations at the camp had to be booked through the official national park website.

What guests said about Skukuza:

8.0

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.

Skukuza is a gem—especially if you want that mix of real bush experience without giving up comfort. It’s one of the bigger camps in Kruger, so there’s quite a bit going on, but it still manages to feel peaceful. Favourite spots: We really enjoyed the early morning drives around the park. We were self-driving but cleverly kept an eye on the guided tour operator vehicles, and that helped us catch most of the big sightings. It made the whole experience exciting and rewarding. Where we ate: We mostly self-catered but had a nice meal at the Kruger Hotel on our first evening after arriving past 7 pm. Most of our shopping was done at the Park Shop inside the camp—it was well-stocked and convenient. We even bought some game meat (like kudu and impala), which we braaied once we returned to Rixile. It was delicious and made for a real bush-style dinner. Getting around: Very easy. The camp is drivable and well signposted. If you’re self-driving (as most people are), Skukuza is a great central base for game drives, with plenty of routes and good animal sightings in every direction. Activities for groups of friends: Game drives are the highlight—we had some unforgettable ones. I'd also suggest booking a guided morning drive and, if you're feeling adventurous, trying different types of game meat like wildebeest, crocodile, or impala. It’s a fun experience to share as a group. Evenings back at camp were equally special—braaiing under the stars, swapping stories, and comparing notes on sightings. Skukuza offers just the right balance of wild and comfortable.

I saw loads of the animals I was looking for, Giraffe, Rhino, Impala, Crocodile, Elephants Kudu, and even a couple of Lions and 2 Leopards. Saw the Wild Dogs and Buffalo. I also played golf at Skukuza Golf Club which was a bit of fun. Everyone was friendly and we always felt safe.

We had a brilliant stay at Rixile. The location is private, tranquil and the property is spotless, finished to a high standard and well equipped. Clint couldn’t be more helpful and we had such a comfortable stay. We were on the fence about staying at Kruger Gate Hotel before we had booked and I’m so glad we didn’t as this stay felt a lot more personal - with access to the hotel facilities. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Another positive note was the safari, which was very well organised and had knowledgeable guides.
