The Kruger Park offers a wide variety of accommodation options, ranging from tented camps to 5 star ultra-luxury lodges. It costs a bit, but it is possible to catch a charter flight to most of the accommodation options. Charter flights are available from Nelspruit and Johannesburg (although it's cheaper to fly to Nelspruit Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport or to Hoedspruit, and rent a car from there). Flights to the Kruger are to Nelspruit, Phalaborwa, Skukuza and Hoedspruit Airports.
12 November 2013 : A few years back (a life time actually) we went to the Kruger Park on a 5 day break. We were all still single and had a great time. A highlight was most definitely my amazement at how a friend was able to drive, eat and spot animals all at once! Especially since he was an amputee! Our stay at Berg en Dal camp was most enjoyable, especially for the lucky cleaner upon our departure- we instructed her to keep everything left behind, only to discover that we had left all our meat! We have always wanted to return and repeat the experience, but life happens. We can truly recommend the Kruger for wonderful memories. Mari Spiro

The rooms at MalaMala all face onto the watering hole or the river, from which monkeys, giraffes and elephants are common sightings. Experienced game drivers mean that there is a high chance of seeing the Big 5. Sable Camp only allows children over 16, Ratrays doesn't allow any children, whilst the Main Camp allows all ages.
