Kruger House Lodge is a rewarding overnight hiking base on the Mpumalanga escarpment. Trails wind through indigenous forest, rocky ridges, and grassland slopes, with steady climbs and viewpoints overlooking deep valleys and dams. Hikes range from relaxed loops to tougher ascents, ideal for multi-day exploring without relocating camp. Accommodation is comfortable and lodge-style, making it easy to relax after long trail days and enjoy quiet evenings in mountain surroundings.
Participation is based on a first come first serve basis. If the hike is filled up, we encourage you to add yourself to the waiting list. Often more spaces can be made available if required.
