About The Outpost

DISCOVER THE JEWEL OF THE NORTHERN KRUGER

Cantilevered dramatically off a cliff with commanding views of the valley below, The Outpost is a masterpiece of contemporary lodge design. Guests are accommodated in 12 luxurious, free-standing spaces perched along the ridgeline, each with state-of the-art retractable, remote-controlled screens offering 180º of uninterrupted views. The eight-sleeper Eco Luxe Pel’s Post, which sits nearby in a tranquil location closer to the riverbank, shares a similar architectural language and guest experience but on a more intimate scale.

The Pafuri Triangle – a wedge of land that lies between the Luvuvhu and Limpopo Rivers in the northernmost section of the Kruger National Park – is famed for its rugged natural beauty and astonishing plant, bird and animal life. In fact, 80% of the Park’s biodiversity can be found in the 26,500ha private concession that unfolds through vast alluvial floodplains, deep sandstone gorges, tracts of sandveld studded with ancient baobabs and the Southern Hemisphere’s largest fever tree forest. It is a vast and remote wilderness just waiting to be explored.
