Kruger National Park
Full of charm and 1920s ambience, this is the original homestead of Kruger's legendary Harry Kirkman (there is plenty of his paraphernalia about). The 18 corrugated-iron-roof cottages are very comfortable and mimic the original house (Nos 11 to 14 have the best views down over the distant Sand River). Kids of all ages are welcome, which is unusual in these parts.
Traversing rights are shared with Lion Sands, which uniquely gives access to both the Sand and Sabie Rivers.
