Kruger Untamed - Tshokwane River Camp
"Tshokwane advertises max 6 per vehicle but on 2 of our 4 game drives we had to use the middle seat despite our objections, whilst other vehicles went out with spare window seats, ie fewer than 6 people.

Skukuza Hotel & Travel Guide
Are you planning to organize some nights in Mpumalanga - Limpopo? Hoping to find somewhere to stay in Skukuza? Skukuza lays claim to 2 short and long-stay options just a short drive from the CBD.
There are not many accommodation options located within walking distance of the downtown area of Skukuza. The Lion Sands Kruger National Park is a good choice as it is a mere 2 miles (3 kilometers) away.
The Leopard Hills is positioned 20 miles (32 kilometers) from downtown Skukuza. Another accommodation option is the Lion Sands Kruger National Park, which is about 2 miles (3 kilometers) away. Other hotel and apartment options in the vicinity are the Lion Sands Sabi Sand as well as the Jock Safari Lodge.
50 miles (82 kilometers) from Skukuza, you can reach Sabie, where you can find Sabie Falls and Komatiland Forestry Museum. The Jock Sabie Lodge and Lone Creek River Lodge are some of the comfortable accommodation choices in Sabie. For another option, head to Malelane, 35 miles (57 kilometers) south of Skukuza, where you can choose from the Buhala Lodge and Pestana Kruger Lodge. While in Malelane, make sure you explore the Kruger National Park Malelane Gate and Inkwazi Shopping Centre.
When watching sport is something you want to do while in Skukuza, pay a visit to Mbombela Stadium, which can be found 50 miles (84 kilometers) to the southwest of Skukuza. Modern travelers wishing to find a room close to the action should check out the Leaves Lodge & Spa or the Global Village Guest House.

Kruger Shalati - Train on the Bridge and Garden Suites
"We had the most extraordinary stay at Shalati, every part of it exceeded our expectations and made it an excellent end to our 2 week holiday in South Africa. The pictures don’t do justice for the beautiful rooms with stunning views. We were in carriage 1 and had 2 resident buffalo below the room we could watch throughout the day along with several hippos on both sides of the river. Watching animals whilst in the bath and in the stunning pool was amazing. The staff are incredible, so friendly and helpful and always there when you need something. The food was some of the best we’ve ever eaten with beautifully crafted menus and if you’re fortunate enough to be there on a Braai night (Wednesday or Sunday at the moment) then that is a completely different and unique experience too. Conveniently located near to Skukuza airport however flying back we used Nelspruit which was only 2 hours away and Shalati arranged a transfer for us. Over all we would 100% recommend Shalati and hope to be in the position to go back again."
