The Outpost Lodge

Situated in the Makuleke Region in the northernmost part of Kruger National Park, The Outpost Lodge rests high on a hill overlooking the flood plains of the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers. This region is formerly known as the Pafuri region. The Outpost Lodge is in a way a partnership between the lodge and the Makuleke people. The event of the lodge is inextricably linked to the history of the Makuleke people. The historical background of the Makuleke people is best explored by a visit to the Makuleke Village in the capable hands of a Makuleke guide.

Guests are accommodated in 12 stand alone en-suite living rooms called "The Spaces" that are placed alongside a walkway on the side of a hill overlooking the Luvuvhu River. The Spaces are of contemporary design with retractable canvas screens and frontage offering 180 degree views of the Luvuvhu River Valley. The open feel of the rooms are extended into full bathrooms equipped with concrete baths and open showers. These rooms offer spectacular views that extend as far as Mozambique. Notwithstanding its remote location, The Outpost Lodge strives to provide excellent cuisine. The style of food reflects its African surroundings.

The region measures some 24000 hectares and is well known for its abundant wildlife including less common species not evident in the southern and central regions of the park. The diverse terrain of the region includes Mopane woodlands, fever tree forests, acacia thickets as well as some of the largest and oldest baobab specimens. Guests will be offered a choice of a long or short game drive in the morning and again in the mid afternoon. Game drives will be conducted by qualified and experienced guides in open-air four wheel drive vehicles. Guided walks can also be conducted in parts of the region not accessible to vehicles including the spectacular Lanner Gorge.
