Kruger View Backpackers

About Kruger View Backpackers

Kruger View Backpackers (also operating as Kruger View Lodge for Backpackers) is an affordable, highly scenic budget hospitality establishment situated in Komatipoort. Positioned right against the Kruger National Park boundary fence along the Crocodile River, this rustic property brands itself as an upmarket backpacking lodge offering raw wilderness immersion at budget-friendly prices. The standout architectural feature is an elevated upper-level communal viewing balcony and observation deck, where travelers can lounge with a cold drink while watching giraffes, elephants, and buffalo cross the river basin below. Strategically located only 9 kilometres (roughly a 10-minute drive) from the Kruger National Park's Crocodile Bridge Gate. It serves as a highly functional pitstop for overland cross-border backpackers.
