Crocodile Bridge Camp

Another Kruger National Park site which plays home to an impressive collection of historically significant San rock art, Crocodile Bridge rest camp makes its home in the Southeastern corner of the park and finds its place, historically, with the 18th century Europeans. Having made their way their way inland in search of gold, Crocodile Ridge was originally set up as a ranger post by these travellers, and maintains a sense of adventure to this day. Known particularly for its lion population, Crocodile Bridge is situated on the northern bank of the Crocodile River.

Part of the Selati railway line to Skukuza at one time, the bridge now stands as a sustained reminder of the area’s wild history.

Guests are accommodated in up to eighteen tent sites with communal ablution facilities, electric hotplates and washing up facilities, two-bed permanent furnished canvas tents (one wheelchair accessible) with showers, a fridges, a standing fan inside tent and small veranda, and air conditioned two/three bed units with en-suite bathrooms and kitchenettes. Accommodation is self catering, and well suited to guests who want a rustic, hands-on experience of the bush.

Facilities at the camp include a grocery and take-away food shop, laundromat, and filling station.

Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp offers outings and adventure in guided bush walks and game drives. These are conducted and supervised by teams of informative and enthusiastic field guides. Guests should take note, however, that children under the age of six years are not permitted on game drives, and children younger than twelve are restricted from game walks. The Lebombo Eco-Trail is pre-booked and overnight, requiring guests to arrange up to eleven months in advance so as to avoid disappointment.

Indigenous wildlife to be spotted during a game drive in the area include the Big 5, black and white rhino, giraffe, zebra and antelope. The major cats and hyenas patrol the camp fence at night, and notable birds to the area include the Pink-throated Twinspot, Blackbellied Starlings, and Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird.

"The road over the Crocodile River Bridge was impassable when we arrived and had been for over a week. NO signs. No prior contact. This put about 120kms on the trip into the Park and the same again exiting. The dirt roads desparately needed grading; most of the equipment was standing idle. The 2 x hot plates at Crocodile Bridge are dangerous. The isolator sign was upside down.. the plates were on when the isolator indicated off, the pilot light indicator was not working and the individual plate control gave no indication which plate they controlled, also the settings were not what they indicated i.e. 0 was not off! Staff were pleasant and helpful, shops well stocked."
