Somewhere to stay near the top of Kruger
Hi Folks
We are staying for a few nights in Kruger, but where we wanted to stay near the top the first night is all booked up, so can anyone recommend anywhere to stay for the night (late July) just outside either the Pafuri or the Punda Maria gate? Can you just turn up on spec at that time of year or is booking advisable? What do you reckon to Messina or Thoyandou? Also, suggestions for myself and nine-year old son while husband is on a palagic trip for the day off Cape-town. Anyone? Thanks for your help Caroline |

What type of accomodation are you looking for Caroline?
There are plenty of small lodges and private B+B's in the area, and you shouldn't have difficulties finding a place to stay in the area. Messina (now called Musina) is certainly full of these.

Thanks Marc
B&Bs are fine (anywhere not too expensive. I think we've decided Musina (sorry, had two spellings for several places) is a bit too far. We want to spend as much of the following day in Kruger as possible. So you reckon you can just turn up on spec? Cheers Caroline |

Hi Caroline,
I'm afraid I can't help with Thoyandou, but there is an Avonura Lodge at Tshipise, as well as lots of guesthouses, lodges, and B+B's in Louis Trichardt. You should make a reservation at the Avontura, as they can be pretty full at times. School holidays are from 24 June to 19 July, and they will be full over this period. If I'm stopping at Louis Trichart I stay at the LTT lodge at about R175 ($30) per night, self catering.

Thanks for your help Caroline Hi Caroline, located 40 minutes south of Phalaborwa, in the Greater Kruger NP you'll fnd Amukela lodge. Little bit far perhaps, but then again, we're located in Big-5. And in July the winter starts, which means good chances for spotting elephants at our dam. Enjoy! Corné. www.amukela.com |
