Inside the park
Safari company
Rare Earth Retreats' small river camp just downstream from The Outpost, on the Makuleke land at the far northern tip of Kruger. Four suites sleep eight, sold by the room or as a whole camp. The rate starts at R17,400 per person sharing, with meals, house drinks, two game drives a day and laundry; park, conservation and landing fees are extra. The operator lists children's activities but no age policy. The Makuleke reclaimed this land in 1998 and keep it under conservation by contract with SANParks. Choose it for a private camp in the Pafuri country for a family or a small group.

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.
