Skukuza Rest Camp situated on the junction of the Sabie and Nwaswitshaka Rivers. It provides some of the best drives in Kruger Park. Previously known as Sabie Bridge, it was Stevenson-Hamilton’s base during the early years of Kruger Park.
Skukuza is the “capital” and biggest camp of Kruger National Park. This is perfect for the first time visitor to Kruger Park; at Skukuza you can learn about the history of Kruger Park at the library and Steven-Hamilton Museum.
Skukuza is a Shangaan word meaning either “he who sweeps clean’ or ‘he who turns everything upside down’.
A highly advised drive around Skukuza is the loop around the Sabie and the Sand Rivers (H1-2, H12 and H4-1). Although there is usually heavy tourist traffic, it is probably the best chance of seeing Lion and a variety of other game in the shortest space of time.
