Skukuza is the Kruger National Park's biggest rest camp and its administrative headquarters, set on the south bank of the Sabie River about 12 km from Paul Kruger Gate. Its camping area takes tents and caravans, and campers share communal kitchens and ablution blocks. The camp has a restaurant, shop, filling station, garage with workshop, laundromat and two pools reserved for overnight guests. SANParks notes that the camping area has no accessible ablutions.
