"Awesome stay at Kruger Park Hostel. Rene and Devon were amazing hosts and gave the hostel a really good atmosphere. Everything you want to do in and around Kruger was super easy through the hostel. This is a place I would book a trip back to South Africa just to come visit! Highly recommend anyone going to Kruger Park to stay at this hostel."
"It's perfect for solo travelers who want to see the Kruger Park. The place has an absolute 10/10 vibe! Also, great hosts and very knowledgeable guides for affordable game drives!"
"One of the best Hostels I’ve stayed at. Rene and Devon are extremely accommodating and make sure everyone is comfortable and having a good time. It’s clean with good showers and the location is perfect if you want to be out in nature and see wildlife walking around the property. The Hostel activities are extremely fun, dinners are delicious and it’s a great time just hanging out at the Hostel. I highly recommend visiting the Kruger and staying at the Kruger Park Hostel."
"It’s so clean and perfect. From the moment I arrived the owner and manager made sure I had everything I needed. I was also greeted by a warthog who frequently visits their garden. Endless activities kept me entertained the whole time I was there. We went go-karting, went on safari, took a tour of the Panorama route, watched the sunset over the Kruger National Park, played mini-golf, and ended each day with a home-cooked meal. The hostel has a bar with beer, cocktails, and wine, at a price that can’t be beat by any of the restaurants in the area. My trip was epic because of Kruger Park Hostel. I can’t wait to visit again."
"Incredibly nice people at the hostel that are always available."

"I believe nowadays its difficult to give something a 10. But this place meets all the expectations. One of the best hostels I've ever stayed if not the best. Devon and Rene are such nice persons and the atmosphere that they have created it should be experienced. Game drives and common dinner. The location is perfect. You can not feed Zebras in the morning everywhere. It is more than a Hostel! Cheers guys, thank you so much. It was amazing!"
"Incredible value for an unforgettable safari adventure."
"Amazing atmosphere, clean comfortable and in the perfect location. Rene and Devon are the most amazing hosts who go out of their way to ensure everyone is comfortable and lacking for nothing. Their family style hostel is very welcoming and lends itself to meeting new people and making new friends. Although aimed at backpackers and slightly younger people, us old folks felt welcome and very comfortable."
"Masterpiece. The place is home away from home, we had a sense of belonging and both guys who took us on the tour around Kruger were so patient and we extremely had so much fun , it's really a good place to Be and I truly appreciate it Keep up the Spirit of UBUNTU Rene and Devon All the Best"
"An incredibly special place in the heart of Marloth place, very well located to access the park from the south entrance of crocodile bridge, where the most animals can be seen. It is a family run hostel and the staff makes all the difference, exceedingly kind people, ready to do everything so that you have a wonderful experience. On top of it, it is very clean, the food that is included in the price is absolutely delicious … they are starting to organize tours and it’s great value for money … I did a safari with Devon and I saw more with him in one day then two days on my own self driving plus additional drives in Skakuza , that says it all… definitely one of these little backpacker gems that you find once in a while during your travels ….. to sum it up: go there, it’s a great place"
"Three days of pure adventure. The safari for 3 days into kruger is worth every penny!"
"I cannot thank enough to Rene and Devon for my amazing stay. They really did everything with a lot of effort for me and other guests. Driving to safaris, preparing dinners, making sure everyone is eating and happy in general. Best value for a hostel, and a life saver in Kruger Park area. Rooms are very good, beds are comfortable, socializing in the hostel is top high, like how hostels used to be :) Highly recommended!"
"Staff and volunteers go out of their way to make sure everyone has a fun, personalized experience. This place was amazing - a great option for budget travelers wanting to experience Kruger. The staff went out of their way to make sure all of the guests had a great experience. They were very communicative about which shuttles to take/where to go for lunch/setting up extra tours if wanted. Rene set up a night game drive for a few of us, and dropped us off/picked us up from there. He also organized a trip down to the river to watch the sunset. The game drives were incredible, dinners were good, and the continental breakfast was great and set up early enough to enjoy before an early morning in the park."
"The hostel is beautiful with amazing facilities and tours organized by the managers, this is your place to go if you want to visit the Kruger."
"I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kruger Park Hostel during my visit to the Kruger National Park, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The staff at the hostel were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife. They provided valuable insights and recommendations for activities within the park, enhancing the overall experience for guests. One of the standout features of the Kruger Park Hostel is its relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. Surrounded by the beauty of the African wilderness, guests can unwind and soak in the sights and sounds of nature. Whether enjoying a sunset drink on the outdoor terrace or sharing stories around the campfire, the hostel provides a memorable and authentic safari experience."

"Super relaxed atmosphere, good community, and very cool staff. Just what I was looking for after a stressful few weeks."
"Staying at the Kruger Park hostel is a dream! The animals appear early around the pool, they offer tours at a good price"
"My partner and I just spent 4 nights at Kruger Park Hostel. It was hands down one of the best hostel experiences we have had! Rene and Devon went out of their way to make sure that all our needs were met (answering all our questions before we got there and even accommodating our dietary preferences for breakfast and dinner), and after such a great stay with them, we’re so happy to call them our friends. The facilities were clean, comfortable and the hostel had an amazing vibe."
"Perfect for wildlife lovers. Close encounters and knowledgeable guides."
"Everything was great!!! If the road to get to the hostel was in a better condition, I would give a 10/10. There's everything that you can expect from a friendly joyful hostel: excellent staff, good breakfast, cleanliness, great atmosphere, very good equipment\’s (amazing shower!)."
"There is a real togetherness between guests, the hosts were amazing, me and my girlfriend had such a great weekend going on game drives and socialising in the evening. Great fun."
"The hosts, Rene and Devon, are really kind, lovely, friendly, making sure I am OK. They are also very friendly to the animals around so; I had a big chance to see many animals even before the Kruger Park. They cook dinner, one night I had a chance to try Braai; it was so delicious. Here is a small but lovely, comfortable, and relaxing pool. Devon took me to a safari at the park, gave me a lot information about the animals. I strongly suggest this place. Rene and Devon you are great!"
"Camping in Kruger was a dream come true. Can’t wait to go back!"
"5 Star Experience at a budget traveler rate. Highly recommend!"
"Breakfast was good, dinner awesome! Really helpful hosts (picked me up at the boarder, because I came by train from Mozambique)."
"Amazing hostel, great vibes, surrounded by nature."
"René and Deven are two young boys managing a hostel in Kruger Park and were great. They are very welcoming, helped me to book my night tour and cooked a really nice meal by themselves. Deven is the best safari man and took us in the next morning to the Kruger and it was amazing. Despite being young, he has a good experience about the Kruger Park, it’s wildlife and his love about birds is a big plus. He shows the enthusiasm of a first time. The hostel is amazingly comfortable, clean and well decorated. Inserted in the Marloth Park, we can feel safe and see zebras, monkeys and even giraffes. Only 30 minutes from the crocodile gate. I would recommend to my friends."
"Absolutely loved the camping safari. Perfect blend of adventure and relaxation and saw all of the big 5 and so much more."
"Best place ever. The place was clean. Hosts were very friendly. Their dinner was delicious. "
