About Phalaborwa Safari Park
Located literally 100 meters from the Phalaborwa Gate in the northern sector of Kruger, this resort offers incredibly affordable pre-erected safari tents and camping stands with excellent communal resort facilities.
If you are exploring the northern, elephant-dominated landscapes of Kruger on a budget, Phalaborwa Safari Park is the ultimate base. It is situated so close to the Phalaborwa Gate that you can walk to the entrance.
For those who don't have their own camping gear, the park offers fantastic permanent "safari tents". These are large canvas tents set on wooden decks, equipped with real beds, electricity, mini-fridges, and their own braai areas. They use immaculate shared ablution blocks.
The property operates as a well-maintained resort. It features a great swimming pool, a playground, and lush lawns. It lacks the wild, immersive feeling of unfenced bush camps, but offers extreme convenience and unbeatable prices for travelers who want a comfortable bed near the northern half of the park.
