A very nice and authentic hostel. Great guys work there, you feel at home.

Food

“Amazing location (20-30 min drive from Kruger entrance, a lot of animals in Marloth Park), the people that own and work”

The people that own and work at the place are exceptional. Had a super fun Christmas night with the whole family.

Best Hostel in Kruger Park. Perfekt Hospitality and Kindness. Perfekt for every Traveller.

Everyone was friendly it was not like we just met, but as we we've known each other. The view was amazing Different animals come by, and you get to feed them. You get to prepare your own breakfast. It feels like home away from home

The surroundings

“A Disappointing and Frustrating Experience”

Robert, Oliver and Lebo are super friendly and made me feel welcome as soon as I arrived. The volunteers are also great and bring a special energy to the hostel. I also thought that the room was nice and well-decorated (although there are no curtains for the bathroom window).

Everything was perfect. The price is incredible good for the food and service you get. The food was amazing. The rooms were better than expected and the location is perfect. Wild animals can join you at the pool. The staff is very friendly and you can book many activities. Definitely 10/10

“I want to go back”

I really liked my stay here. First, the room is big and the bed is huuuuge (it's AT LEAST a king). We did have a shared bathroom (which we signed up for and knew ahead of time!), but in general the room amenities were amazing -- I went with a group of friends but will definitely come back again with my partner. Second, the hostel offers great tours for great prices (not only half day safaris, but also sunset safaris, trips to Esswatini, trips to Mozambique, pick-up rides from the border with Moz, etc.) -- by staying here, you're also getting a great value-for-money travel agency (which makes planning much easier). I recommend reaching out to them when you book. Third, the hostel really has animals! Marloth Park is a fenced neighborhood -- so you do get Kudus, Zebras, and boars walking around the backyard, close to a small pond where they can drink water (the picture on Booking.com is not an exaggeration: you see these animals every day and from VERY VERY close -- as close as you want). I really felt the safari started by staying at Krueger Park Hostel. Fourth, the ambience was on point: it strikes the perfect balance between quietness and socializing. I felt the room areas were quiet -- and the common areas were also pretty quiet at night. Because people go on safari rides as early as 5 AM, social mingling usually starts dying out around 21. But don't get me wrong: this doesn't mean people aren't social. In fact, Mayra (who helped us immensely) and the rest of the hostel crew always does some "funny social activity" in early evenings -- when we were there, they did a trivia night and, in the other night, a barbecue in a place near the hostel with a great view to the river and herds of elephants. The night we left, they did karaoke. I usually travel to see _places_, but at Krueger Park Hostel, I really felt _people_ were a great asset too! Ohh and fifth: it's a DBB: dinner, bed and breakfast!

Food

“Fantastic from start to finish”

Amazing stay at Kruger Park Hostel. Amazing staff, spotlessly clean and a fantastic location in Marloth Park. Fantastic safari, Robert is an amazing guide, well educated and knowledgeable on the area, wildlife, flora and fauna. Also highly enjoyed the panorama Route tour. Very relaxed stay nothing was to much trouble for the hosts they even collected and dropped us back to the airport. We hope to return to the Kruger Park Hostel soon!

“Incredible experience”

It was a perfect oasis in the bush amongst the animals with a homely feel. Everyone was super welcoming and friendly. The park game drives were fantastic and the guide Robert was super informative, giving us lots of time to view animals and take photos. The staff even helped organise a massage at the hostel with a local masseuse! We would definitely stay here again!

“Great experience with as absolute highlight the camping safari”

The day trips organized by the hostel

“Hostel surrounded by nature”

Located in the middle of the forest. Friendly staff who really want to build a community among the guests. Spotless clean. Very nicely decorated. Well organised. We really appreciated the opportunity to rent bikes.

“Most Terrible experience with fals advertising!”

I booked the pvt room. Room was clean and the animals visit you right at your door. The net around the bed kept the insects away and the bathroom was clean and spacious.

“Perfect hostel to stay around Kruger Park”
