You won’t have to look hard to find a great bush retreat in South Africa. This country is loaded with places to stay from cozy mountain cabins where vultures dot the sky to tented safari camps where the Big Five play. Ready to take a walk on the wild side? make sure you visit these bush getaways that will be perfect for post lockdown travels.

Satara Rest Camp, Kruger National Park

Satara is the second-largest and one of the busiest camps in the Kruger National Park, and rightfully so. The accommodation is reasonably priced and boasts quaint bungalows with all you need for a comfortable stay. Situated in the heart of lion territory, the savannah around the camp is home to a variety of animals and is fairly open, so spotting wildlife is a breeze. In the evenings the resident badgers enter the camp to scavenge, and their visit is a highlight so keep your eyes peeled for these clever critters.

Kapama Karula

There’s no doubt why Karula is Kapama Private Game Reserve’s flagship lodge. Set in the Greater Kruger National Park, Karula boasts 12 suites with views stretching as far as the eye can see. Each is decorated to reflect true African style and design and has a private deck area and a full-sized heated pool. Two daily game drives ensure that visitors are able to get into nature and see many of the country’s magnificent animals, including the Big Five.
