Overview

The Outpost Game Lodge

 

About The Outpost Safari Lodge

 

Both the rugged magnificence of the Northern Kruger and the breathtaking architectural splendour of The Outpost harmonize to create an ideal setting for a harmonious coexistence with nature.

Here, in the Park’s most inaccessible area, where 80 per cent of its species are found, you will be able to fully experience the thrilling wilderness as an unanticipated wilderness adventure and a leisurely safari unlike any other await you in this area of pristine beauty.

The Outpost is a hip and modern safari lodge that provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of the Kruger National Park while also providing an unforgettable experience for our guests.

Staying at The Outpost Lodge is all about savouring the small moments. Not only does the Kruger boast more diverse and abundant wildlife than any other location in the park, but our guests are also able to appreciate the intricate details of a genuinely wild landscape, which helps them to feel grounded in the vast silence and unspoiled beauty of the area.

The Outpost is located in a private concession with a ridiculously low volume of both guests and cars. While eighty per cent of the species found in Kruger National Park are located in the concession, it is also recognized for its impeccable birding.

In the remote northeastern region of the Kruger National Park, The Outpost combines clean modern design with absolute wilderness. The clean lines of steel, concrete and Zimbabwean teak blend into the bush of the northern Kruger and create a tranquil oasis in this wilderness. The lodge enjoys an elevated view of the Luvuvhu River Valley and consists of 12 free-standing suites and a main building. The complex is connected by a 500-metre walkway of Zimbabwean teak. The remote and pristine north of Kruger is home to herds of elephants and buffalo. Resident pride of lion and the recently reintroduced rhinoceros are often seen on game drives and the elusive leopard is common the mountainous areas.

Facilities

The Outpost consists of free-standing living spaces. Perched on a hill the units enjoy far-reaching views of the valley below. The intelligent design of the living spaces highlights the view by aligning the furniture and the panoramic front of the room with it. Canvas covers open up the space completely and expose you to the unique atmosphere of the African bush. The rooms are luxuriously fitted with king-size beds and award-winning bathrooms. The open plan design allows you to unclench and relax, while luxurious amenities make you completely comfortable.

The Outpost serves three meals a day. Breakfast is usually served in the dining area overlooking the Luvuvhu River Valley, while lunch often comes in the form of a picnic under tall baobabs or at the side of a river. Dinners under the stars are always a favourite with guests.

The cuisine is African inspired and The Outpost has dedicated itself to finding the best local produce or else flying in fresh ingredients from Johannesburg.

The area is bordered by Zimbabwe and the Limpopo River in the north and by the Mozambican border in the east. The land is owned by the Maluleke Community, which reclaimed the area after the end of Apartheid. The Outpost operates on a private concession. The aim is to establish a profitable business and train members of the local community so that Makuleke Community will own and run The Outpost in the near future. This is a prime example of empowering local communities and advanced integrated conservation.

The area covers over 25,000 hectares within the Kruger Park and is home to the Big 5 as well as most other big game. Leopards abound in the mountainous area, while large herds of buffalo and elephants roam the plains and riverbanks. Rhino has been reintroduced to the area and resident prides of lions are sighted regularly.
