Kruger Park Hostel

Out of all the hostels I’ve stayed in around the world, Kruger Park Hostel is by far the number one when it comes to being a true authentic hostel — one that genuinely cares about making you feel at home. It’s more than just a place to sleep; it feels like a real community. From day one, I felt like I was surrounded by long-time friends. Connections happen naturally, the spaces encourage interaction, and there’s a welcoming energy in every detail. For fellow Brazilians thinking of visiting: don’t doubt for a second — this is your best value-for-money option. The daily rate includes half-board (great breakfast and dinner), you don’t have to worry about dishes, and whether you stay in a shared room or a private one like I did, everything is comfortable and cozy. Also they have nice tours either good prices that allows you to meet all Kruger area on an affordable way. The staff is also 10/10 — from Mayra (a Brazilian who shares tons of helpful tips in Portuguese) to Rene, Trudy, Lebo, Robert, Marion and so many others who make this place so special. I truly felt welcomed.

Located in the middle of the forest. Friendly staff who really want to build a community among the guests. Spotless clean. Very nicely decorated. Well organised. We really appreciated the opportunity to rent bikes.

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! 🌻

It was a perfect oasis in the bush amongst the animals with a homely feel. Everyone was super welcoming and friendly. The park game drives were fantastic and the guide Robert was super informative, giving us lots of time to view animals and take photos. The staff even helped organise a massage at the hostel with a local masseuse! We would definitely stay here again!

The friendlyness of the hosts. Very friendly family managed Hostel. You istantly feel welcomed as a New member of the family. Kruger Tours are organised from the Hostel. So you are abel to enjoy the Kruger Parl as much as possible with your friends from the Kruger Park Hostel. Everyone was very friendly and warm harte.
