There are 12 unique and modern, free standing open plan suites offering panoramic views of the river and bush below. The luxury suites are cleverly designed, making full use of the space with retractable remote controlled screens offering 180 degrees of uninterrupted views of the Luvuvhu River Valley. The open feel of the rooms extend into a comfortable lounge and outdoor terrace with a double day bed. The en suite bathroom with stone bath boast views extending to Mozambique and can also be screened off for privacy. The honeymoon suite is the most private of them all with stunning views.

All rooms offer double basis, outdoor showers, mosquito netting, king size beds (twin on request), eco friendly cooling system, well stocked mini bar, robes & slippers, hair dryer and room safe.

The main lodge area makes the most of the expansive views and offers a swimming pool to relax and soak up the sun and lovely views. There is a guest lounge area to curl up with a book from the library or enjoy a drink by the bar. The bar is the focal point and defins the lounge and dining area which offer a cooler alternative to the daybeds and chairs on the terrace overlooking the pool.

The Big 5 Makuleke Contractual Park measures some 26 500 hectares and is well known for its abundant wildlife including less common species not evident in the southern and central regions of the park. Apart from large herds of elephant and buffalo, guests will be able to see Nyala, an antelope which is not easily found in the more southern regions of the park, and over 350 recorded bird species. The diverse terrain of the region includes Mopane Woodlands, Fever Tree forests, Acacia thickets as well as some of the largest and oldest Baobab specimens

Game drives and outstanding walking safaris are undertaken in what is arguably one of the most scenically beautiful and diverse wilderness areas in the Kruger National Park. There is a wilderness trail that is offered over 3 nights using The Outpost as the base. The trails take in various areas of the reserve and some months of the year it is possible to visit the magical fever tree forests.

This region is one of the few true wilderness areas left in South Africa, The Makuleke Contractual Park (Pafuri) is steeped in history and boasts vegetation so different to anything else within Kruger that one might be forgiven for thinking they were in central Africa! The infamous 'Crooks Corner' is worth a visit where you can stand on South African soil and see Zimbabwe and Mozambique across the river and of course your ranger will share the interesting stories of this nearly forgotten corner of South Africa where the baobabs grow 50% taller than anywhere else in Africa along with a mixture of scenery and fantastic birding.

The area is a favourite winter grazing ground for elephant from Mozambique, Zimbabwe and elsewhere in Kruger. Leopard love the thick bush environment and prey on the nyala and impala that feed close to the river. There is a large population of hippos and crocs at the confluence of the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers at Crooks' Corner. Among the more unusual sightings in the Makuleke are the eland and Sharpe's grysbok. The birding in the whole area is exceptional, with specialities being the Pel's fishing-owl, black-throated wattle-eyed, orange-winged pytilia, African crowned eagle and racket-tailed roller.

The Outpost offers a super experience and combined with a few nights in the private reserves of Sabi Sand and Timbavati you can be sure for an exceptional safari experience.
