We have our own fully equipped tented camp on the Kruger Park boarder overlooking the Crocodile River in the Kruger and all our safaris are done with registered guides in OPEN Game viewing vehicles. Masungulo River Camp (which means a new beggining in Shangane) is the home of Funky Safaris and the tented camp lies within a reserve so you get to share your time in camp after your Kruger game drives with the abundant wildlife that roam freely throughout the reserve. The camp has funky bush showers and a 18meter viewing deck from where you can watch the lions, elephants an other Big Five animals come down to the river for their daily doses of water. Take a walk along the river or simply relax around the swimming pool whilst reflecting on the magic game drive you have just experienced in Kruger before enjoying a truely African meal under the African skies and retiring to your comfy bedded tent for a good night's sleep.

As a hostel is quite good. Rooms are fine, and the kitchen too. Internet is fast, but you have to pay it. The owners are kind of nice, until you don“t take their tour to go to Kruger!! Then, they just ingnore you!! And we heard, no so good experiences from people who joined a tour to Kruger with them!! Just moving 3 days in the same area!! Igor, from Spain ~ 21st Aug 2011
