Home. Outpost Lodge Kruger Park

Wildlife:

The Outpost lodge mountainous region measures some 28 000 hectares, home to large herds of elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, rhino, nyala and tsessebe antelope which are not easy to find elsewhere in the national park. The diverse terrain of the region includes mopane woodlands, fever tree forests, acacia thickets and some of the largest and oldest baobab trees.

Guests will be offered a choice of a long or short game game viewing drives twice a day, conducted by qualified and experienced guides in open-air four wheel-drive vehicles. Game excursions are not restricted to public roads in Kruger and mostly make use of tracks formerly reserved for the use of Park officials. Guided nature and bird watching are available upon request, subject to availability and are not included in the rates.

Cultural excursion: 

The region's rich historical and cultural heritage can be explored by guided visits to Crooks Corner and the Thulamela archaeological site overlooking the Luvuvhu River. Artefacts dating from 1460 to 1640 have been found tying them to the last phase of the Zimbabwe culture. The Outpost celebrates its relationship with the Makuleke Community. The creation of the lodge is inextricably linked to the history of the Makuleke people, their forced removal from the region under the apartheid laws of the old South African government and the subsequent return of title to the people. The history of the people is best explored by a visit to the Makuleke village in the capable hands of a guide.
