Skukuza Rest Camp

Our TV did not work and the person sent to fix it did not know what to do. The baboons are a big big problem! I saw a large male open the window and slip inside the next chalet. They took some bottled goodies while we were sitting right there. They are not afraid and we had to carry everything inside and work from there. It is a hell of a nuisance. No doormat. We called for a broom and mop to clear the rainwater outside. The guest house next door was very noisy and disturbed the peace for is. I just expected more for the price but location is great. The restaurant has the best coffee and very friendly staff!

The area and the service was very nice. But our old small cabin was not nice. The fridge is inside and there are 3 beeds so very little space. There are no plugs inside so we could not charge phones. The water flow was difficult and very slow so it was difficult to get a shower. In general it needs a major makeover.

I would never stay in the accommodation offer by the Kruger National Park, for 1 they are over priced for South Africans they focus on International customer's. Service is poor as to the standards and up keep of the facilities, they can do much better. Location.. we'll it is in the bush what more could you ask for.

I had a wonderful stay at Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger National Park. The location along the Sabie River is stunning, with plenty of wildlife to see right from the camp. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great facilities and an ideal base for game drives — highly recommended!

Good value for money! We also booked game drives via San Parks reservation service which was good! Can recommend anyone to stay there who is looking for a more budget-friendly safari experience

The Hotel stay is an incredible experience! The architectural design blends 100% with the bush environment, food is great, friendly staff, even a gym! Would highly recommend!

The Kruger National Park is a beautiful escape within nature. Unfortunately the facilities are not as well maintained as always and there is lots of discarded refuse in public areas. Still worth while visiting. We resided at the Wild Fig guest house, which was wonderful.

The worst experience ever. I will never stay at the Skukuza rest camp if I ever come back to Kruger. Do not stay at this camp site at all costs because you will get lied to you in your face. I have travelled all over the world and stayed in many places but I have never stayed in a place where the front desk is so unprofessional that I literally needed to leave the next day and get a refund. Whatever you do, do not have the lady with the short hair who wears glasses at the front desk speak to you or handle your reservations. She will lie to you and give you the wrong information. I had booked two different reservations at the camp site. When we checked in yesterday, I was told by that lady that she would consolidate my two reservations into one reservation. I thought that was a nice gesture and was appreciative. She then gives me the room key only to find that she gave me the room key for a dirty room bungalow #35. We went back to the front desk only to find that she had given us the wrong key and then we were given the right room at bungalow #155. I assumed that this was just an innocent mistake and didn’t make a big deal out of it even though that lady never apologized to me. The next day I had a knock at my door at 11 AM where they were kicking me out. Apparently they had not consolidated my reservations and now I have to move to another bungalow at the last minute. None of this was ever explained to me. Personally, I have no problem moving into a different bungalow since I had two different reservations but the lack of communication and the constant confusion was completely overwhelming. On top of that, they never apologized for their mistakes. This is the height of unprofessionalism. The whole situation eventually got handled when Johannes and Suzan got involved to help us out after we waited for 2 hours for another manager who never actually came (again another lie/mistake from the ladies at the front desk). Johannes was the only person there that actually cared about our concerns and actually rectified them. I would give Johannes 5/5 STARS but the other ladies at the front desk need NEGATIVE STARS for the incompetence and utter lack of respect. This place may have fancy bungalows and facilities that seem enticing, but if the service is bad then it’s just not worth it.
