The game drive and bush braai will take place from 16:00 on Tuesday 8 July 2025. Departure will be from the Skukuza rest camp for the game drive, followed by a typical South African barbeque dinner outside the rest camp in the bush.
Delegates and accompanying persons need to register separately for the game drive and bush braai. Unfortunately, only children from age 12 upwards are allowed at the bush braai. Childcare can be arranged for children up to the age of 11 by contacting the organisers via e-mail. Payment will be directly to the service provider at Skukuza.
The farewell boma braai will take place on the evening of Wednesday 9 July 2025 in the Skukuza rest camp.
Although the typical South African braai focusses on meat, there are many vegetarians, vegans and the like in South Africa. All dietary requirements will be catered for.
The following activities are available at the Skukuza rest camp, but need to be booked directly at the reservation office in Skukuza.
Children under the age of 6 are not permitted to take part in these activities for their own safety. All times listed are given only as a guideline. Times vary throughout the year depending on daylight. Please consult at your camp reception on arrival and also make sure you get to the collection point in good time for your departure.
Early morning Game Drives
Morning drives leave a half hour before official gate opening times, i.e. 5:30 am, which means you will be the only guests driving around at that time. The drives’ duration is 3 to 3.5 hours and you will be able to watch the sunrise over unspoilt bush. On your morning drive you will be able to enjoy the tranquillity of the Kruger National Park at Sunrise. You will be transported on one of our open vehicles from Skukuza for an approximately three hour drive. An experienced guide will interpret the natural bush as well as offer further insight into the ways of the Kruger National Park.
Sunset Drives
These drives leave the camp before dusk and return after sunset lasting around three hours. Search for grazers in the cool afternoon and predators starting their nightly hunts. Sunset is a time when night animals emerge and a drive during this period is the perfect opportunity to witness the beauty of the bush as it changes from day to night. Learn about fauna and flora from our expert guides and return to camp with a spot-lit night drive.
Night Drives
The only way to see animals of the night, night drives depart at 19:30 and last for around two hours. Experienced guides drive the groups to spy on Kruger’s nocturnal creatures and their secretive activities. It is also a wonderful opportunity to view our star filled sky away from city lights.
All-Day Drives
On request and availability at camp level, guests may hire the use of a vehicle and driver for the entire day. Trained officials take visitors to sections of the park that are usually inaccessible to tourists.
Guided Walks
Skukuza provide guests with the opportunity to take part in daily early morning and afternoon guided walks. Up to eight guests are taken out of the camp’s boundaries to explore the surrounding wilderness areas adjacent to the camp.
These interesting spots make for exciting time-fillers, as experienced (and armed) guides share their knowledge of the fauna and flora to explain natural wonders. The walks are relaxed and don’t take longer than a few hours, so no over exhaustion will take place.
Two armed field guides accompany you on the walk in order to ensure your safety, they will focus on the things that you will usually not be able to see from a vehicle. By being out on foot you cover an area more intensely and you are able to experience nature using all of your senses. If there is any large game in the area you are more than likely able to encounter them and have an exhilarating experience of approaching them on foot.
Comfortable shoes must be worn, and clothing should be natural colours and applicable to the prevailing weather conditions. Cameras and binoculars can be taken along, as very interesting sights will be discovered and guests can revel in the spotting of fascinating creatures and plant life. No children under 12 are allowed.
Golf Course at Skukuza
Come play on the wildest golf course in the world. Skukuza Golf Club is a magnificent 9-hole (18-tee) course situated in the world-renowned Kruger National Park on the outskirts of Skukuza rest camp. The rich wildlife sanctuary surrounding the golf course is home to the Big Five, a huge variety of birds and countless animals, which all conspire to provide our visitors with a harmonious close-to-nature golfing experience.
Our course is a Par 72 and is 5950m (6450 yards) for men and 5059m (5480 yards) for women. Since the course is not fenced-in, uninvited spectators are a common sight, hippo, impala, warthog and baboons to mention but a few. The course offers the pleasure of challenge and adventure. For example, #2, Par 3, have water on the left and to the back of the green. The signature hole #9, Par 3 of about 150m is played across Lake Panic. The Skukuza Golf Course has no bunkers, although ‘aerial bunkers’ abound because of the many trees found on the course.
