Skukuza Safari Lodge, located in the heart of the world-renowned Kruger National Park, offers an ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and an immersive wildlife experience. As the only lodge situated within Skukuza Rest Camp (the largest and most accessible camp in Kruger) it provides an unbeatable base for exploring South Africa’s premier safari destination. Just a 15-minute transfer from Skukuza Airport, this lodge is a seamless addition to any itinerary, particularly when booked through Ascot Tours, a trusted B2B operator with over 27 years of experience in crafting bespoke Southern African journeys.
The lodge features 128 contemporary, en-suite rooms with air-conditioning, high-quality linens, and views over landscaped gardens or the surrounding bushveld. Guests can enjoy hearty South African meals at the on-site restaurant, relax at the bar and lounge after a day of adventure, or unwind beside the swimming pool in a tranquil courtyard setting. Guests at Skukuza Safari Lodge enjoy direct access to some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. Daily game drives are conducted in open safari vehicles by SANParks-accredited guides, offering opportunities to spot the Big Five, alongside countless other species. Optional night drives and guided bush walks add further depth to the experience. Located within Skukuza Camp itself is the Kruger Museum and various heritage sites, offering insights into the park’s conservation history and rich cultural heritage.
For travellers with a passion for golf, Skukuza offers unique opportunities. Just minutes away lies the Skukuza Golf Course, a 9-hole, unfenced course where wildlife such as hippos, impalas, and warthogs often share the fairways. For a more upscale golfing experience, Leopard Creek Country Club, ranked among South Africa’s top courses and designed by Gary Player, is located approximately 90 minutes from the lodge, near Malelane Gate. This makes Skukuza an excellent base for combining a world-class safari with bucket-list golfing.
