Stay at The Outpost

Situated in the heart of the Makuleke Contractual Park, the Outpost combines true luxury and simple design to create an experience like no other. Perched up above the Luvuvhu river, look out over the northern Kruger from your own open-plan, en-suite luxury space. During your time at the Outpost you will be emerged in the rich cultural history of the Makuleke community and experience first-hand the wonders the area has to offer – from its historical ruins and diverse eco system to its abundance of birds and game.

The 26,500 ha concession, in which The Outpost is located, boats nearly 80% of the Kruger Park’s biodiversity. As a result there is an abundance of flora and fauna to explore, either on game drives or on foot with an expert guide. After a day exploring the bush, unwind with a luxurious spa treatment in the privacy of your room, before enjoying a sumptuous evening meal under the stars, swopping stories from the day’s events.

Absolutely amazing holiday. Garonga is heaven! We did everything possible and our guide was brilliant and hilarious. I can definitely recommend True Travel for their excellent advice and professionalism – they clearly are very knowledgeable about where they send their clients and made sure we had a worry-free holiday that perfectly suited us. We were particular grateful for the collection off our flight and help onto our transfer in Johannesburg, which included a very nifty queue jump due to their reputation!
