Choose Luxurious Kruger National Park Chalets or Lodges for an Unforgettable Experience
The Kruger National Park is the largest game reserve in South Africa. It is spread across more than nineteen thousand square kilometres. It spans across the borders of two provinces, Limpopo and Mpumalanga, and it is one of the main attractions for tourists and local visitors in the country.
The park was initially called the Sabie Game Reserve, but it was later renamed as the Kruger National Park when two adjoining parks, the Sabie Game Reserve and the Shingwedzi Game Reserve, were combined to form a large, protected area with the objective to prevent hunting and to provide a natural sanctuary for wild animals to live in a protected and authentic environment. It is home to a wide array of indigenous fauna and flora, and animal and bird lovers can enjoy some spectacular sights of rare and wild animals and birds. The main attractions are the Big Five (elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and rhino) and the Big Six Birds. The park is open for day visits, but a lot of people prefer to enjoy the luxury of staying at one of the wonderful Kruger Park chalets. These are usually situated on private concessions and run by companies or individuals, instead of the park authorities.
Overnighting in one of these luxurious Kruger National Park chalets is something that should be on the to-do list of everyone who wants to experience African nature in its true, natural form. Here you can spend your day game viewing, bird viewing, going for guided hikes with experienced and qualified trackers and guards, or just taking in the sights from one of the many balconies at one of the Kruger National Park chalets. The chalets and safari lodges are usually situated for the best game viewing, and often overlook watering holes or sites where animals regularly visit.
There is a wide variety of Kruger National Park chalets and lodges, and these are usually at the upper end of the budget scale, but every penny is worth it. There are also often specials and promotions that can be taken advantage of, and if you stumble across a good deal here, you should take advantage of it for an unforgettable experience. Some Kruger National Park lodges offer all-inclusive packets which cover your entire stay – everything from your accommodation, meals, and drinks, to activities such as game drives and exciting bush walks. Others tend to charge for accommodation, and then it is up to you to choose how much money to spend on food, drinks, and activities. This provides a more flexible approach to what you can afford. All-inclusive promotions, however, can save a lot of money too, so keep an eye open for any promotions by Kruger National Park chalets and lodges.

It is quite common for Kruger National park lodges and luxury chalets to provide their guests with everything they need and a lot more. High-quality bed lined, comfortable lounges, swimming pools, underfloor heating, and private chefs – they can all be found at the right lodges and chalets, and you will be treated like royalty during your stay.
