Kruger National Park Maps

This map highlights camps found within and around Kruger National Park. There are twelve main rest camps, four satellite camps and five bushveld camps. The easiest way to reach your camp is by driving or flying, and please be aware that the distance between gates and camps vary, so take note of gate opening and closing times. This is especially important as speed limits within the park are 40km per hour on dirt roads and 50km per hour on tar roads. 

Main Rest Camps
All the major rest camps are kitted out with electricity, a convenience shop, a first-aid centre, shared kitchen facilities, laundry options, public telephones, restaurant and/or cafe, and petrol station. 

Berg-en-Dal (with satellite Malelane): Located along the banks of the Matjulu Spruit, in the south-western corner of the Kruger National Park, Berg-en-Dal is about a five-hour drive from Johannesburg.

Crocodile Bridge: This cosy camp gets its moniker from its location on the northern bank of Crocodile River. The Crocodile Bridge Gate is only 13 kilometres from the town of Komatipoort. The game viewing area near the camp known as the Southern Circle is famous for its high density of lion prides. 

Letaba: An oasis along a bend of Letaba River, this camp offers travellers a guest house, cottage, bungalow, hut or a furnished safari tent, as well as camping and caravan sites as lodging options. This camp is prime for elephant sightings and bird watching. Use the Phalaborwa Gate to get here.

Tampoti: Another satellite camp perfect for spotting leopards in the wild, Tampoti is four kilometres away from Orpen, on the road to Satara Rest Camp. 

Bushveld Camps
For visitors looking for a more remote stay during their time in Kruger National Park, bushcamps are ideal. All units in these areas must be reserved in advance and are self-catered. They are kitted out with a refrigerator, cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery and a small stove or large stove depending on the size of the unity, and private washroom. Shops and restaurants are not available in these camps. 

Bateleur: An exclusive bushcamp experience nearby to two watering holes, makes this camp ideal for game viewing. Bateleur is located in Northern Mopane and the Bushwillow Savannah Woodlands of Kruger, the closest gate is at Punda Maria.

Biyamiti: Secluded and cosy, Biyamiti Camp is situated 26 kilometres from Crocodile Bridge Gate and just 12 kilometres from the N4. 

Shimuwini: With easy access to elephant and buffalo territories, Shimuwini's remote location along the Letaba River, makes it a lovely place to stay.  

Sirheni: Located on the banks of Sirheni Dam and surrounded by mopane, Sirheni is private but within easy reach of some of the larger rest camps that can be accessed from Phalaborwa Gate. 

Talamati: The rich grasslands surrounding this camp, give travellers incredible views of various grazing herds. Located in an open valley along N'waswitsontso River, there are lots of game viewing opportunities in Talamati. The closest gate, Orpen, is just 30 kilometres away. 

A joint venture between the Kruger National Park and the Associated Private Nature Reserves, Greater Kruger National Park, encompasses over twenty private reserves west of the main national park. Unlike the national park, Greater Kruger allows a limited number of people to visit, ensuring visitors experience animals in the wild without the crowds. As the borders between the national park and the Greater Kruger region remain unfenced, animals can move freely. Likewise, accommodation is much more exclusive in this part of the reserve.
