The South African National Parks Board manages three types of camps in the Kruger National Park: rest, satellite, and bushveld camps. They also offer three bush lodges, which are slightly more luxurious.

Kruger's twelve rest camps are scattered throughout the park, which stretches 350 km ( 217 mi) from north to south. Each offers visitors a variety of accommodation options, typically ranging from campsites to air-conditioned ensuite bungalows with basic kitchen facilities. Most camps provide a small shop and a restaurant for purchasing essentials. Visitors can book activities like bush walks and open vehicle game drives at these camps.
Four satellite camps offer a more intimate and rustic safari experience not far from the main rest camps in the Kruger National Park. Accommodation is basic, and these camps are often unfenced, which adds excitement to staying here. They feature a very limited number of tents or huts and are an ideal choice for any die-hard safari enthusiast.
These basic camps offer an immersive wilderness experience in secluded bushveld settings throughout Kruger. Accommodations are simple and always require self-catering. Camps are unfenced, and you will often encounter wildlife on your doorstep. When staying at a bushveld camp, you will enjoy tranquility, far from crowds of people.
These are the most luxurious options available through SANParks; they are often booked up long in advance, and for good reason. Bush lodges are located in remote settings and offer well-appointed, air-conditioned rooms—a luxury in South Africa's premier conservation area. They feature ample outside spaces where you can relax and unwind while observing birdlife in ancient trees and the occasional animal wandering by.
