Hotels near Masisi

I had never heard of this place before and when we left I could not understand why. We have stayed in a variety of types of accommodation around all parts of SA and this is truly out of the top drawer. The attention to detail and the work that has gone into this establishment is really an eye-opener. The environment is fairly hostile, very hot, out of the way and the owners have gone the extra mile to make the place extremely presentable and very pleasant. Situated on a river bank a couple of km from the Pafuri gate, it is ideal for day trippers into the northern section of the Kruger Park. Accommodation is a mixture of chalets (only two I think), tented accommodation with shared ablutions and camping. This place is highly recommended, we stayed two nights and would have been happy to spend a week there. The owners were friendly and engaging. There is a little restaurant on site catered for by the local community. A shop works on an honesty system which is settled when you leave. What a lovely place

It was the second time we stayed at the Outpost. For us it is one of the best Lodges in South Africa. We like the open concept of the rooms and the landscape surrounding the lodge. It is just so relaxing being in Kruger without the traffic jams of the south. Maybe there are places to see more big 5 animals but going to the fever tree forest is just unique as have the sundowner on the banks of Limpopo River with the Hippos. If you are looking for a special experience, go there.

The location was amazing… 200 meters from the Pafuri Gate to Kruger, ideal for a 6am entry to the north of the park. The house was beautifully fitted out, ultra modern, new, sparklingly clean. Wonderfully comfortable bed. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen. We had internet, a luxury in Kruger. But what really made our stay at Pafuri Gate Guesthouse really memorable was the welcome we received from Forget and Patricia. They were so helpful and concerned that we had everything we needed to make us feel safe and comfortable. Forget was a great source of local news and history and when we set off to walk the perimeter he accompanied us and kept us engaged with his stories.
