The Outpost Safari Lodge, Kruger National Park
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Contemporary luxury accommodation in the remote wilderness of Kruger National Park in South Africa.
Winner of numerous local and international awards, including One of Five Best Baths in the word with a View, The Outpost Safari Lodge is located in the northern region of the Kruger National park known as the Makuleke.
Home to large herds of elephant and buffalo, this remote region of the Kruger covers about 28 000 hectares, with the Limpopo River and Zimbabwe on it’s northern border and Crooks Corner and Mozambique on it’s eastern border. Whilst the location may be remote and the terrain rugged, it does not mean that you have to rough it.
Unlike most safari lodges that have a far more ethnic design, the Outpost is unashamedly contemporary in it’s design and is made up of the main lodge and 12 stand-alone living spaces set against the side of a hill overlooking the Luvuvhu River. Each living space comes with it’s own own private outdoor terrace, indoor lounge and bedroom and an incredible award-winning en-suite bathroom with stunning views of the African bush.
