Whether you are eating in or out there's something to suit all tastes. Kruger Park Lodge has a good restaurant on site which offers an a la carte menu or international buffet, served in a bush lodge atmosphere. The restaurant is also a Wiessenhof coffee bar.

Kruger National Park::
Africa at its natural best. South Africa's premier game reserve is only a 10 minute drive from the guest house. The world renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. It is home to 'The big five' - Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo.
