Tucked away in the remote northern reaches of the Kruger National Park, Pel’s Post is a stylish eco-luxury lodge offering one of the most private and breathtaking safari experiences in Southern Africa. Located in the Makuleke Concession, along the wild and wildlife-rich banks of the Luvuvhu River, this award-winning retreat is ideal for those seeking exclusivity, beauty, and connection with nature.
With just four architecturally stunning suites, Pel’s Post redefines the meaning of a secluded getaway. Each suite is open-fronted and elevated to showcase uninterrupted, panoramic views over the Luvuvhu River and the iconic baobab-dotted plains beyond. The design embraces a minimalist, modern aesthetic softened by warm woods and natural textures, offering an atmosphere of both serenity and sophistication.
Whether you’re a couple seeking solitude, a family looking for adventure, or a group of friends celebrating a special occasion, Pel’s Post can be booked per suite or exclusively as a private-use lodge. Exclusive-use bookings include a dedicated safari vehicle, private chef, personal field guide, and tailor-made itineraries that flex to your pace and interests.
Each day at Pel’s Post offers immersive wildlife experiences, from twice-daily open-vehicle game drives to specialist walking safaris led by seasoned trackers. The Luvuvhu River is a lifeline for wildlife in the northern Kruger, attracting herds of elephants, buffalo, and countless bird species to its banks. This is also one of the few regions where guests can experience fever tree forests, towering baobabs, and stunning natural landmarks such as Lanner Gorge, Mutale Gorge, and the famous Crook’s Corner, where three countries—South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique—meet.
Despite being more remote and less trafficked than southern Kruger, the Makuleke region offers exceptional biodiversity and world-renowned birdwatching, especially in the summer months when migratory species arrive in abundance. This region is home to over 350 recorded bird species, including rarities such as the Pel’s fishing owl—the lodge’s namesake.
The main lodge area features an open-plan deck and lounge space where guests can relax and take in the views, sip cocktails at sunset, or dine under the stars with the sounds of the bush as your soundtrack. Remote-controlled screens allow you to adjust your suite’s exposure to the elements, striking the perfect balance between comfort and wilderness immersion.
Every suite at Pel’s Post includes:
Panoramic views of the Luvuvhu River
Retractable, remote-controlled screens
Indoor & outdoor showers
Luxurious linens and king-sized beds
Eco-conscious amenities
Seamless open-air design
For those seeking peace, privacy, and unspoiled nature with just the right touch of indulgence, Pel’s Post is the ultimate private lodge experience in Kruger National Park.

Located in the remote northern Kruger National Park, this region features ancient baobab trees, dramatic gorges like Lanner and Mutale, and the famed Crook’s Corner. The surrounding wilderness is rich in biodiversity and home to some of the best birding in Africa, including sightings of the elusive Pel’s Fishing Owl.

For the ultimate immersive safari experience, keep the motorised retractable blinds fully open during the day to enjoy uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Luvuvhu River and the dramatic baobab-studded plains. These innovative open-plan suites allow you to feel completely connected to the surrounding wilderness—ideal for wildlife sightings from the comfort of your room. At night, simply lower the screens for added privacy and warmth while still hearing the gentle sounds of the African bush.
Pro Tip: Bring a pair of binoculars—thanks to the elevated position and sweeping vistas, guests frequently spot elephant, buffalo, nyala, and a wide range of bird species without ever leaving their suite.
Best Time to Visit: The dry winter months (May to September) offer exceptional game viewing along the river, while summer (October to March) attracts rare migratory birds, making it a birdwatcher’s paradise.
