we spent three glorious nights here. this was our second visit and it did not disappoint. the food is fantastic, staff are attentive and very well trained. the game drives are exciting (not a lot of game in the area at this time of the year though - but the bush is lush and dense and the bird life is...

In our review of the year 2011 our stay in „The Outpost“ definetely was THE highlight! Our time there in April was really stunning and one of the most exciting experiences abroad ever. The combination of the innovative architecture in the middle of this fascinating bushlands is really breathtaking! We were overwhelmed by the friendly service provided by Thomas and... More

The people who work at this lodge are competent, hard working and eager to meet any request. I had a private vehicle and guide for my three days in this part of Kruger and Sarah was an excellent guide/driver. Very versed in birds and animals of the region. The weather was unseasonably hot when I was there about 42 or... More

An old mate was visiting from far and living in Musina, I wanted to make his visit as special as possible. Yes. Cape Town is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but the bushveld…Well, the few that have discovered its secrets have never left or try and come back at every opportunity. Of course it was... More

Perfect in every way! We have been fortunate to have travelled the world. In fact we have been to over 50 countries in the past 30 years and the Outpost is certainly one of the most wonderful places we have ever stayed. We absolutely loved it. The rooms are out of this world. The service was outstanding. The staff were... More

I am lucky enough to be able to travel often around Southern Africa and visit many of the best properties, some are as expected, some are underwhelming. The Outpost exceeded all my expectations and then some. Starting with the staff and management who were wonderful. All members of the Makuleke community who are the ultimate owners of this spectacular property,... More

The place is amazing and the bedroom is also very good. The service and the game driving were ok. I'm only disapointed because I just discovered there that the north part of the kruger has less animals than south. But the biggest concern is about the food. The quality and taste were ok. But you can't serve small VERY portions... More

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. More

Amazing design and accommodations, very honey moonish. Breath taking view; having a shower looking at the animals down the river is priceless. Air cooling system is fantastic, as it gets really hot, even not in Summer. Staff is very kind and polite and the house keeping is really good. Food is ok (french style). However, as all meals are included,... More

This lodge is a must see; a very special and modern design. Your room basically has just one wall to the back and a roof; the rest is open (curtains can be closed), which provides an amazing atmosphere. If you skip one game drive in the morning you can enjoy an unmatched sunrise right from your bed. If the wheather... More
