- "Really good and perfect for us!We needed to be close to an airport and Kruger Park for safari, so that we could fly in, go safari, fly out without long drives as our time was restricted. So this was perfect. It is only ~30 mins from Skukuza airport and also 30min drive to Paul Kruger Gate, entrance to Kruger Park. It is a 3star accommodation but it is super-nice.We stayed in the Luxury Cabin overlooking the Sabie River. It has 2 bedrooms,sitting room,really nicely tiled bathroom, and a fantastic porch to sit and watch the wildlife on the river-a family of hippos was daily viewing and a crocodile sunning on the river bank. There is also a decked area for all guests with small swimming pool, overlooking the river. Again perfect for watching wildlife on the river while enjoying a cold drink! Lovely grounds and gardens meticulously cared for. Very friendly, helpful staff. The bar is nice with satelite TV to show sports- eg Premier league and European football.We were halfboard, breakfast very good (full English, omelette) and dinner also very good and varied each night.They arrange safari for an extra cost (amount very reasonable compared to other places). And the safari guides were great, really knowledgeable and keen to maximise our experience. We saw all the big 5 on the first day-even leopard which is difficult at the best of times. And Skukuza Airport is actually in Kruger Park.So safari starts from pick up at airport as you go to Sabie River Lodge! Highly recommended!"

Skukuza Golf Club is described as 'the wildest course in the world'. located in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. It is one of the few golf courses in the world located within a wildlife sanctuary. The course was originally built in 1972 and has recently been redesigned and upgraded.

One of the unique features of Skukuza Golf Club is that there is no fence and the wildlife can enter and be seen on the course. It is not uncommon for golfers to encounter animals such as impala, warthogs, and baboons while playing a round of golf. The course is designed to coexist with the wildlife, and special measures have been taken to ensure the safety of both the animals and the golfers.

In addition to golfing, Skukuza Golf Club also offers a restaurant and bar where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the beautiful surroundings. Just note the times that the Paul Kruger Gate closes (6 or 6.30pm depending on the time of year and light).
