Fodor's Expert Review Crocodile Bridge

Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa

Situated in Kruger's southeastern corner, this award-winning small rest camp sits on the scenic Crocodile River and doubles as an entrance gate, which makes it a convenient stopover if you arrive near the park's closing time and are too late to make it to another camp. The road leading from the camp to Lower Sabie is famous for sightings of general game as well as buffalo, rhinos, cheetahs, and lions, but it's often crowded on weekends, holidays, and during school vacations. A hippo pool lies just 5 km (3 miles) away. Accommodations range from bungalows and safari tents to campsites. Two of the bungalows are geared toward travelers with disabilities.

PROS

  • adjacent to one of best game roads in park
  • ideal for guests looking for self-catering bushveld experience
  • sunrise and night drives are offered

CONS

  • close proximity to the outside world of roads and farms
