DAY 1: Skukuza Airport – Tshokwane River Camp

Guests are collected from the Skukuza Airport and travel north to the Tshokwane River Camp.

The first upscale tented camp that is open seasonally in Kruger National Park. From July to the end of September 2024, this camp will offer an unimagined highlight for Kruger Park fans who want to get closer to nature.

The luxury tented camp is located in a part of Kruger National Park that has never been visited before. The camp “pops up” for the season and then disappears at the end of the season, leaving no sign.

Tshokwane River Camp is a unique and exclusive place hidden in an undiscovered part of the world-famous Kruger National Park only an hour from Skukuza Airport.

It has 30 luxury tents that can sleep up to 60 people. The rustic and exclusive atmosphere of the camp, which is next to a dry riverbed, gives tourists a chance to forget about the outside world and focus on the beauty of the wild.

It is in one of the most wildlife-rich parts of the park and will surprise you from the moment you arrive.

During the summer, water flows through the Ripape riverbed near the camp but when winter comes people can enjoy drinks at sunset on the riverbank.

Guests are greeted by a charming wooden deck tucked under Leadwood trees and decorated with lanterns that cast a soft glow on the weathered bark, telling stories of majestic elephants seeking shelter from the African sun.

The camp has large tented bedrooms that are 24 m² and have front and back openings, side windows, a covered patio, and inside bathrooms. Fresh sheets, soft duvets, and warm blankets will help people get a good night’s sleep.

In the beautiful shared tented dining room guests can enjoy a full English breakfast, a light lunch, tea, coffee, and cookies in the afternoon, and dinner while all house drinks, soft drinks, teas, and coffees served at a safari bar, are included. You can also buy premium drinks at a cash bar.

In the evenings you can relax in the riverbed around a fireplace with a big campfire.

Activities in which you can participate include two game drives a day, or a walking safari with an armed guide.
