Guest reviews for Skukuza Restcamp

Skukuza

"Very clean camp with nice shop and restaurant with friendly service. Also very good service at petrol station. Bungalow was very nice and big. Nice kitchen with average cutlery.

Only problem was they were fixing the bungalow in front of us and there was a lot of noise in the day. Not very nice. Not nice view as well."

"The unit we stayed in had blocked drain, we checked in late and went for dinner, so only found out after hours.
Dinner could have done with a kids' menu."

"Last night sadly. Very busy rest camp but very enjoyable."

Skukuza

"The Camp is absolutely beautiful and accommodation is lovely, my only suggestion here would be to put up some sort of netting for the bungalows that have outside kitchens - even though we barricaded the fridge using chairs the naughty little monkeys managed to get into the fridge and spoiled a lot of our food and they also got away with a lot of fruit and yoghurts. The camp is family friendly and the pool is gorgeous. This camp is by far the best I saw on our trip and we also saw a lot of animals in this region. Will definitely be back again!"

Very nice place!

"Very nice place, a little expensive but definitely worth it.
During the days we were in the park and later we had a bbq!"


- Monique (Dutch)

Awesome

"We had a really good time...
Saw plenty of stuff you don't see a lot...
2 Big kudu bulls that fought and hippo running, a half eaten hippo and a dead one underneath a tree. The lions we saw were close to us every time.

Our camping facilities were great, the other campers were so friendly and we had a great time getting to know them.

We are definitely doing it again soon."

Very disappointing!

"Wow what a disappointing experience. The booking procedure was perfect no problems and the lady (Carien Du PLessis) that help me was efficient and well organised. I attended a wedding in your staff camp so I requested an early book in by Mari who told me it would be possible if the previous people vacated on time and that she would note it in the diary as she would not be there and that I should speak to either Nomonde/Kate. On arrival they told me no early check in's so I informed them that I had made an arrangement early the week and that Mari had noted this in the diary; they then referred me to the back office. I unfortunately can not remember who I then spoke to in the back office but it was one or the other. All members of staff had a "I don't feel like working today" attitude and I was informed that in fact there is no diary. I was sent to the front again and the gentleman who then assisted told me once again I couldn't check in and I once again had to go to the back office, one of the ladies in there managed to get herself up and walk over to the reception desk to tell him that I could in fact check in. When i arrived at the room we quickly took a shower which made me feel even worse as there was some/other pooh on the floor in the shower with a lot of hair.It is clear in my mind that that the bathroom had not been cleaned and that my 3 year old made the comment of "the floor is dirty, I don't want to walk barefoot!" is beyond me.For us as South Africans I suppose we are used to this service however;it is a shame that we allow this to be the norm when it comes to the way we treat the tourists! What a big disappointment!"

Restaurant at Skukuza

"Hi
We were most disappointed with the restaurant at Skukuza, the waiter was surly and most unhelpful, the food was overpriced and disgusting, the take-away area was not much better. I think for visitors that are 'forced' to eat at the restaurant, mostly overseas visitors, they must be horrified at the rip off.
I am sure that at least the staff can be more friendly, they almost resent serving you and to get a smile out of them was impossible.
The bungalows were clean and a pleasure, reception staff good, its a pity the restaurant puts a bad taste in the mouth.

Nice experience but not as nice as Lower Sabie

"After our stay at Lower Sabie, our arrival at Skukuza was met with a little disappointment. Our bungalow was clean & adequate but conspicuously older than Lower Sabie. And had no cooking facilities (other than a wood braai outside). Facilities were less fancy, a lot more rustic than Lower Sabie.

I think the Skukuza & Lower Sabie rates were the same!

Game watching was still spectacular."

Skukuza - Oct 2011

"We stay in Skukuza from 30 Sept to 8 Oct 2011 in our caravan. It was my 10 yr old son's first visit to the KNP and it was exceptional. Apart from your checklist supplied, we saw about 20 different birds species, a "Groenboomslang" and a "Puffadder". It was an unforgettable experience and we will definitely visit again."

Skukuza Restcamp

"Still probably the best tourist attraction SA has to offer.Needs tweaking to get up to world standards. Air-con not working. Restaurant payment set up needs streamlining."


- Robert Scott (South Africa)

Good trip

"I was very impressed with the camp site, all facilities were cleaned several times during the day, one can see the place is being looked after."


- Brendan Gevers (rsa)

Skukuza Restcamp

"I found the Skukuza park with nice My points are the follow:

1) accommodation condition excellent
2) restaurant nice food and nice people
3) reception very nice as well, very professional staff
4) My only comments on this goes to the reservation that did not allow my 14 year old son to share a chalet with his parents. Hence I had to book one chalet for my son.

5) Clener staff were very arrogant to us, pushing us out of the challet before even the check out time."

Service in restaurants and shops.

"Our accommodation was excellent value for money however I was absolutely shocked at the bad service levels in every restaurant, food outlet and most shops that we visited."


- Philip Senekal (South African)

The type of holiday we all need

"This was a most fantastic holiday. To get away from the hustle and bustle of city life is a gift that we should all appreciate.
We can all be proud that the Kruger Park is being kept so well.
Well done South Africa."

Skukuza Restcamp

"Clean, nice place to lay your head."


- Timothy (South African)

Thanks

"The stay there was very nice. The bungalows were clean and neat and the camping area was also neat and clean. The quiet hours were well observed and we had no problems with other guests.

The game viewing was first quality and we were able to see much of what we wanted to see. We also went on a night drive with the park staff and the driver, Lucky, was very professional and fun. I hope everyone has the same experience when they stay in Kruger.

The only problem was that we arrived a day later than expected and our reservations (already paid) were canceled. The staff made a special effort to find us accommodation but I am not sure we were reimbursed for the day we missed.

"I wish I had been warned that kitchen stuff was so basic."

Skukuza Restcamp

"We loved the tents, although it was really hot! So of course it was too hot to be in the tent during the middle of the day. The only complaint is that the mattresses in our tent in Skukuza were in dire need of replacement and we were rather uncomfortable. I can't remember the tent number. I think it may have been 309."


- Margie Morrell (South African)

Skukuza stay over

"My family enjoyed the trip very much, we saw 4 of the big 5 every day and it was a great experience. The leopard was the only one that eluded us every day, but furthermore it was a great weekend."
