As Kruger National Park is among the most visited places in the country, the South African National Parks (SANParks) is constantly looking at innovative ways to save the planet and meet green travellers needs.
The new Skukuza Safari Lodge, which will open a limited number of rooms as part of a soft launch from December 31, is an eco-friendly lodge.
The three-star offering is situated in the south of the Kruger National Park. According to its website, the lodge implemented green building initiatives to "ensure the greenest lodge possible." The lodge has also worked with the community to offer economic opportunities in the construction and operation of the lodge.
