aha Hotels & Lodges is thrilled to announce the management of Skukuza Safari Lodge, a prestigious addition nestled in the heart of the iconic Kruger National Park. Officially reopening this month, the lodge promises an unparalleled safari experience, offering visitors both luxury and adventure in one of South Africa’s most cherished natural settings.

A Haven of Luxury in the Wild

Skukuza Safari Lodge boasts 128 elegantly designed rooms, including 11 family rooms and 8 luxurious suites, ensuring comfort and sophistication in the wild. Guests are invited to unwind at the lodge’s bar, gym, and swimming pool, while dining at the restaurant, which offers an à la carte and buffet menu for all meals.

For business travelers, the lodge features the Mondzo meeting room for intimate gatherings, while the newly refurbished Nombolo Mdhluli Conference Centre accommodates up to 600 delegates, making it an ideal venue for large corporate events and conferences. The conference center is equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure flawless event execution.

Exclusive Experiences for Every Guest

From starry nights enjoyed during Bush Braais to exciting game drives, Skukuza Safari Lodge offers numerous ways to explore the wildlife-rich Kruger National Park. Guests can take guided drives, self-guided tours, or even tee off at the nearby Skukuza Golf Club, known for its unique setting amid the park’s natural beauty. For a more relaxing escape, the lodge’s AM Spa offers rejuvenating treatments, and those seeking adventure can enjoy guided walks through the park’s scenic landscapes.

Accessibility and Convenience

Located just 15 kilometers from Paul Kruger Gate, Skukuza Safari Lodge is easily accessible, and Skukuza Airport offers daily flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town, thanks to Airlink. The lodge’s proximity to these travel hubs makes it an excellent choice for both local and international guests seeking a seamless journey to the heart of the wild.

A Public-Private Partnership for Progress

The re-opening of Skukuza Safari Lodge symbolizes a successful collaboration between SANPARKS, aha Hotels & Lodges (a division of Tourvest), and Karibu Leisure Resorts, a 100% female black-owned company. This Public-Private Partnership aims to create meaningful employment opportunities and ensure that the surrounding communities directly benefit from the success of this venture.
