The Kruger Area is a great place to explore the natural beauty of South Africa. There are backpacker hostels in Nelspruit, Graskop and Phalaborwa. Phalaborwa hostels are the closest to the actual park. Graskop hostels are very central and can be used as access points to both the Kruger National Park and the scenic panorama route. Nelspruit is the shopping capital of the Kruger area and also a springboard for Mozambique and Swaziland. There are also borders now between Kruger and Mozambique through the trans-frontier national park. This is a great way to get to Mozambique - ask at any of the hostels for details. |
Graskop (1/- )
Home of the pancake. Graskop is a great place to escape the heat of the lowveld areas
Hoedspruit (1/- )
Hoedspruit has transformed in the last few years from a dustbowl to a gateway to the mid Kruger area
Nelspruit (3/- )
Friendly town that is a transport hub and a good place to pick up a cheap Kruger Safari
Phalaborwa (1/- )
The town of two summers right on Krugers doorstep. Also a new way to get to Mozambique
