Inside the park
Safari company
Singita's smaller Kruger lodge, on the Sweni River and sharing Lebombo's 33,000-acre concession, rates and inclusions. Six suites built almost entirely of wood and glass, plus a Pool Suite with a private deck, pool, guide and vehicle. SANParks' text gives seven suites in one sentence; Singita's own rate sheet counts six plus the Pool Suite. The 2026 child rate starts at age 2, against 10 at Lebombo, which makes Sweni the easier Singita for families. Off-peak 2026 starts at R51,665 per adult sharing, all-inclusive. Choose it for a smaller, quieter Singita; pick the Pool Suite if you want your own vehicle.

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.
