Staying at Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp
Price confirmed for your travel dates on enquiry
This 3-day safari from Cape Town spends two nights inside Kruger National Park at Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp, a small camp at Crocodile Bridge Gate on the Crocodile River, in lion and rhino country in the far south-east. Staying in a rest camp means you wake up in the park, ready for the first game drive as the camp gates open.
You fly direct from Cape Town to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP), and your guide meets you for the road journey into the park, with game viewing on the way to camp. A full day with your guide in an open safari vehicle follows, and a final morning drive before your flight back to Cape Town. Sightings are never guaranteed.
The price, the unit type at Crocodile Bridge and the meal basis are confirmed for your travel dates when you enquire.

You are collected from your Cape Town hotel about two hours before your Airlink flight to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP), which departs at about 8.00 am or 10.00 am depending on availability. The direct flight takes about 2½ hours, and your guide meets you on arrival for the road journey into Kruger National Park.
You reach Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp in the afternoon, with game viewing on the way, and check in before the camp gates close. The evening is yours at the camp.
Overnight: Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp
Set out as the camp gates open for a full day in the park with your guide in an open safari vehicle. Your guide explores the Southern Circle around Crocodile Bridge, known for its lion prides and both rhino species, with giraffe, zebra and antelope common near the river.
You return to Crocodile Bridge before the camp gates close for your second night in the park.
Overnight: Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp
Join a SANParks sunrise drive in an open vehicle, which leaves the camp about half an hour before the gates open and lasts about three hours, when animals are most active.

A representative meets you in Cape Town and transfers you to your hotel.

You stay two nights at Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp, a SANParks camp inside Kruger National Park. This is one of Kruger's smaller camps. It has a shop with a small take-away section rather than a full restaurant, a filling station, a laundromat and communal kitchens. There is no ATM. The unit type is confirmed for your travel dates.
Crocodile Bridge sits at the gate of the same name, on the northern bank of the Crocodile River in Kruger's south-eastern corner. Komatipoort is about 12 km away. From central Gauteng the drive takes 5 to 6 hours via the N4 through Nelspruit, Malelane and Komatipoort, and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport is about 120 km from the gate.
You fly direct from Cape Town to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP) with Airlink, departing at about 8.00 am or 10.00 am depending on availability; the flight takes about 2½ hours, and your guide meets you for the road journey into the park.
Return direct flights from Cape Town to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP), hotel transfers in Cape Town, road transfers between MQP and the camp, two nights at Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp, three game drives and Kruger conservation fees are included; the meal basis is confirmed in your quotation.
Staying in a rest camp means you sleep inside Kruger National Park, so you are already in the bush when the camp gates open in the morning.
The Southern Circle around the camp is known for several lion prides and for a large share of the park's rhino; both rhino species are seen regularly. Giraffe, zebra and antelope are often seen near the gate, cheetah and leopard are recorded regularly, and hyenas patrol the camp fence at night. SANParks offers guided walks and early-morning and late-afternoon game drives from the camp. Sightings are never guaranteed.
