Top-end
Inside the park
Ownership unconfirmed
The first of Kruger Untamed's seasonal camps and, in its own words, the Kruger National Park's first seasonal luxury tented camp concession. It runs from 1 May to 30 September and disappears after each season; the next opening is 1 May 2027. The operator's FAQ gives 20 tents, while an older SANParks page still says 30 tents for 60 guests. The rate of R8,750 per adult sharing covers meals, house drinks and two activities a day, guided walks included. Guests must be 12 or older. Choose it for a dry-season walking and driving stay in the south-centre. Kruger Untamed does not say who owns it.

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.
