Ownership unconfirmed
Seolo Africa's walking camp on a 12,000-hectare private concession in Kruger near Skukuza: four twin explorer tents, no Wi-Fi and no air-conditioning. Walking is the point here, with three-night trail packages at R28,900 alongside the nightly rate of R9,830 per person sharing, minimum two nights. Private cars may not drive on the concession, so guests are collected from the sister lodge. No children under 12. Full board and activities are included; the Kruger conservation fee is extra. Choose it for a small walking safari inside the park; skip it if you need power points or a pool. Seolo Africa publishes no ownership statement.

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.
