The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve. All the Big Five game animals are found at Kruger National Park, which has more species of large mammals than any other African game reserve (at 147 species).
Kruger has many five star award winning lodges such as Singita, Ulusaba , Sabi Sabi, Mala Mala, etc etc. It also has a number of government owned and run national park camps.

Various Venues in The Kruger National Park
Below are some of the venues avaliable for Conferences, Incentives and Leisure travel.
Hamilton’s Tented Camp
Hamilton’s Tented Camp offers an old-school luxury experience staying in exquisite traditional safari tents – you'll find yourself transported back to the early 1900's as the lodge perfectly evokes a colonial-era big game hunter's camp. A wonderfully romantic camp!
The Tented Camp encourages you to fully indulge your senses with the sounds and smells of the African bush. From the very first moment you arrive at the camp you inspired by the “Out of Africa” nostalgia of safari adventures of the early 1900’s where grace and style are created through the use of classic safari tents draped dreamily in white linen, not to mention the extensive use of old period antiquesare welcomed with a drink by singing staff and a cold scented cloth (for those “glowing” brows and sweaty hands)
The six magnificent canvas tents are reached by raised wooden walkways from the main lounge area - accommodating a maximum of 12 people, they boast romantic slipper baths, stunning teak floorboards and dreamy mosquito nets which hang over a spacious canopy bed – that's before you get to your private outdoor showers, a definite boost to any passionate weekend away in our book!

Lion Sands Tinga Lodge
Distinctly luxurious and nestled on the banks of the Sabie River in the heart of the Kruger, Lion Sands Tinga Lodge (previously known as Tinga Legends) is a place where the wildlife often comes to you – what better than relaxing on your private wooden deck or chilling in your private plunge pool as the animals come down to drink right in front of you!
Whilst the 2 lodges on the concession are in some ways very similar – for example they both consist of 9 suites each, both are situated on the banks of the Sabie River, both boast luxurious suites with private plunge pools etc – however they each possess entirely different characters and feel. Whilst Lion Sands Narina has a distinctly “African” look and feel, Tinga feels more grand with its character being almost that of a colonial gentlemen’s club. Take for example the cosy library filled with an array of African literature to be enjoyed in the old world luxury of leather couches, Persian carpets and dark woods, an impressive wine cellar, not to mention the scattering of antelope horns displayed in the walls. The imposing double volume entrance space leads through to what we think is the lodge’s most impressive feature of all, the stunning main view deck perched under a massive Jackalberry tree with magnificent views over the Sabie River and, of course, the profusion of wildlife that regularly comes down to drink there.

Lukimbi Lodge
The most easily accessible of all the private Kruger concession lodges, Lukimbi is a stunning luxury safari lodge situated on one of the largest concessions in the park – 15 000 hectares of prime Big Five territory right in the south of Kruger!
You’ll similarly no doubt also be happy to spend many contented hours in the lodge’s luxurious confines! Lukimbi offers 16 spacious air- conditioned suites (14 Classic Suites and 2 larger and more luxurious Premier Suites) which combine stylish luxury and a feeling of rusticity courtesy of the textured wall finishes. Wooden walkways lead to the standalone rooms which are lovely, thatched chalets with ample space and gorgeous river and bush views – they’re spacious enough even to sleep a couple of kids with their parents (just one of the reasons why Lukimbi is great for families) The lounge drops down from the level of the bedroom area and this space then flows out to a covered wooden deck – the perfect spot to sip a drink whilst sprawled in a lounger watching the passing animals and listening to the birds in the surrounding trees!
