Great location, especially for "first-on-the-road" self-drive game-viewing, in arguably the richest diversity and density of game in Southern Africa. Great views overlooking the river with some game to be seen from the tent's terrace. Clean, modern, comfortable and well equipped accommodation with very comfortable beds.

This is a 10/10 property. Right in the Kruger national park, so close to the Skukuza airport and has an incredible view of the river. Even though we went during the wet season we saw plenty of animals including lion cubs. The staff here ensure that you get the best service, they are super attentive and friendly (our wait staff, particularly Polite and Sma were wonderful)! Our guide Sidney was a legend. This is a truly unique and luxury experience, we would highly recommend!!

What a magical place. We spent our last night of Kruger expedition here just to treat ourselves. Our guide managed to find us two leopards during our two drives. All three meals were good with breakfast being exceptionally good. The view from this place is magical and so much better than the pictures here. highly highly recommended.

Game sightings, accommodation, location and staff were all excellent. Food was delicious and abundant. Each day was something new. Leopard, lion, buffalo, rhino and lots of elephant : what’s not to like.

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.

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.

Located close skukuza gate of the Kruger national park. It was value for money. Friendly staff and helpful. Missed having a kitchen portion, as it was not self catering. Really enjoyed our stay there.

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.

This was the only accomodation I could find last minute in Lower Sabie and had low expectations but it was actually cute and very comfortable with parking space right next to tent, comfortable beds, ac, large fridge and a great campsite environment around. We saw more interesting animals here than Skukuza. Menzie, the young man who maintains the tents is lovely. No bugs in September, no crime.

A very nice, spacious hotel with a beautiful bar/lounge area as well as very nice outdoor area with infinity pool, from where you can spot some game, if you're lucky. The food was always plenty and delicious. The staff was very professional and friendly. The game drive (with Justice) was also great!
