Inside the park
Park-run (SANParks)
A bushveld camp on the Mbiyamiti River, hidden in Delagoa thicket 39 km from Malelane Gate, and the closest of the five bushveld camps to the southern gates. SANParks allows only residents in the camp and on its access road, which keeps the surrounding drives quiet. Units have their own bathrooms, kitchens and power; a mini shop sells firewood and ice but no meat. SANParks runs guided walks and game drives from the camp. Cottages start at R2,363 a unit. It was closed after the January 2026 floods; reopening was not confirmed by October 2026. Owned and run by SANParks.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Kruger National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryR602 per international adult per day at USD 1 = ZAR 16.65 (6 Oct 2026); R692, about $42, from 1 Nov 2026.
- $36per person, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults pay $216 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
SANParks charges no vehicle fee for private cars at Kruger.
Almost every private lodge inside Kruger excludes the SANParks conservation fee from its rate, so you pay it on top for each night.

Rates checked 6 October 2026 and converted at R16.65 to the US dollar (rate of that date); re-check before you book. SANParks does not print its unit rates online, so every SANParks figure here is a reseller rate from krugerpark.co.za (Siyabona Africa) for 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, quoted per unit and shown per person for two sharing. Private lodge figures come from each lodge's own rate page unless the entry says reseller.
