LOCATION
Pestana Kruger Lodge is 700 metres from the Malelane Gate of Kruger National Park and is the ideal place for the whole family. The Lodge is set amongst wonderful gardens and has a fantastic view over the Crocodile River where hippos and other wildlife abound.
The Kruger National Park has almost 2000km of roads and 6 permanent rivers that cross the savannah within the park. Daily safaris can be organized from the Lodge into this marvellous sanctuary. It is the habitat of countless species, and tourists here will have the ideal opportunity to observe at close quarters the “Big 5 of Africa” - the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros, not to mention 336 types of trees, 49 species of fish, 114 types of reptiles, 507 species of birds, and innumerable giraffe, monkeys,
zebras and antelopes.
Pestana Kruger Lodge is a wonderfully relaxing location where you will scarcely hear the animals but have the opportunity to be surrounded by nature.
