Kruger National Park - Camps
Accommodation for the 650,000 visitors who come to the Kruger National Park every year is available in rest camps, privately run camps and bushveld camps. The privately run camps take only parties booked in advance, not individual visitors. Bushveld camps, which have simpler accommodation and facilities than rest camps, are meant for parties, families and individual travelers who want to experience the wilderness in relative isolation; day visitors are not admitted.

The great majority of visitors spending two or more days in the National Park stay in rest camps, which also welcome day visitors. The range of accommodation extends from luxuriously equipped chalets to simple huts for from two to five people. Most of them are air-conditioned and are appropriately and attractively equipped. Almost all of them have a bathroom and cooking facilities, as well as a barbecue. There are also camping sites. All the larger rest camps have restaurants and shops, a filling station, an information center and first aid facilities.

Crocodile Bridge Camp
The Crocodile Bridge is a rest camp with 20 bungalows, a small shop and a parking area for mobile homes. The grassland in the surrounding area attracts zebras, wildebeests, impalas, kudus, gazelles and large herds of buffaloes. In winter the Crocodile River dries up, leaving only small pools, but these are still an important source of water for animals. If you find a good observation point near one of these waterholes you will not have to wait long to see big game. 6km/4mi from the camp there is an observation point from which to watch the hippopotamuses which like to wallow in the mud on the banks of the river.

Lower Sabie Camp
From Skukuza a road runs along the Sabie River to the Lower Sabie camp. Big game can almost always be seen in the bush flanking the road, and it is often necessary to brake to avoid giraffes, antelopes, elephants or zebras crossing the road. With its extensive areas of grass and its many trees, the Lower Sabie camp is a pleasant place to stay. The Sabie River, which is dammed at this point, is home to many water birds, and monkeys, elephants, rhinos and buffaloes are frequently also to be seen here.
