Kruger Park Hostel
What Guests Say
The rooms were spacious, clean and fresh. The rain shower is to die for and the bath simply irresistible. Truly one of those arrive as guests and leave as friends places. It is owner managed and run the we absolutely amazing, super friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is a help yourself eat and go thing but even though we had only just arrived we were invited to eat our dinner with them and the other guests family style which was amazing. We will definitely be back!

I've stayed in lots of hostels before but this stands out as being one of my favourites for sure. Staff are so welcoming and friendly, they make a real effort to make sure you have what you need during your stay and make you feel like part of their family! The dinner was delicious and everywhere was super clean. The shower in the dorm was lovely too :) The location is incredible. You are in and amongst so much wildlife, animals coming to the pool was an absolute highlight. Martin was a wonderful guy, so much energy and enthusiasm on the game drive! I highly recommend doing the game drive and the night drive, it is so worth it. Thank you for a great stay, I really hope to be back one day!

A little slice of bush heaven tucked near the Kruger Park. The staff and volunteers were extremely kind and attentive and quickly make you feel part of the hostel community. Within a few hours of arriving we had visitors by the pool (zebras!). The hostel was extremely clean and well decorated. The pool was clean and great for when you need to cool down. There were different spaces to mingle with others or have some quiet time/do work if you wish. The tours were awesome - despite it being a scorcher of a day we saw a plethora of wildlife! The hostel doesn’t host too many guests, which creates an intimate feel and makes it easier to get to know everyone. By the end of the trip, you will feel like part of the hostel family. I hope to visit again and will recommend to friends! 🌻

The place is perfectly located, Marloth is very safe and close to Crocodile bridge gate. The room, shower, food, game drives were all very personalized for us. Common areas were so cool, even some animals came visit. Mayra and Rene are great hosts. They run the hostel and at the same time hang out with us. If you are lucky they even do the tours with you. I would definitely recommend!

This place was amazing - a great option for budget travelers wanting to experience Kruger. The staff went out of their way to make sure all of the guests had a great experience. They were very communicative about which shuttles to take/where to go for lunch/setting up extra tours if wanted. Renee set up a night game drive for a few of us, and dropped us off/picked us up from there. He also organized a trip down to the river to watch the sunset. The game drives were incredible, dinners were good, and the continental breakfast was great and set up early enough to enjoy before an early morning in the park.

It was a great stay. Marion and Oliver, who were running the hostel while their son was on holidays, were great hosts. The pool is really nice. It is a really peaceful place which just relaxes you. I only stayed 1 night, if I had known before I would have booked at least 2 nights to be able to go on the early morning tour to Kruger.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kruger Park Hostel during my visit to the Kruger National Park, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The staff at the hostel were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife. They provided valuable insights and recommendations for activities within the park, enhancing the overall experience for guests. One of the standout features of the Kruger Park Hostel is its relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. Surrounded by the beauty of the African wilderness, guests can unwind and soak in the sights and sounds of nature. Whether enjoying a sunset drink on the outdoor terrace or sharing stories around the campfire, the hostel provides a memorable and authentic safari experience.

I believe nowadays its difficult to give something a 10. But probably this place meets all the expectations. One of the best hostel I've ever stayed if not the best. Devon and Rene are such nice persons and the atmosphere that they have created it should be experienced. Game drives and common dinner. The location is perfect. Perhaps you can not feed Zebras in the morning everywhere:D It's more than a Hostel! Cheers guys, thank you so much. It was amazing!

A very special place in the heart of Marloth place, very well located to access the park from the south entrance of crocodile bridge, where the most animals can be seen. It is a family run hostel and the staff makes all the difference , very very kind people , ready to do everything so that you have a great experience . On top of it , it is very clean , the food that is included in the price is absolutely delicious … they are starting to organize tours and it’s great value for money … I did a safari with Devon and I saw more with him in one day then two days on my own self driving plus additional drives in Skukuza , that says it all… definitely one of these little backpacker gems that you find once in a while during your travels ….. to sum it up : go there ….. it’s a great great place
