The Outpost is located in the remote north-eastern Makuleke Region of the Kruger National Park. 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 elephant roam the plains and riverbanks. Rhino has been reintroduced to the area and resident prides of lion are sighted regularly.
