The reserve forms part of the greater Kruger National Park and we offer easy access to the Kruger Park gates. This unspoiled corner of South Africa is renowned for its abundance of wildlife, indigenous forests, mountainous scenery and diverse cultures. At the heart of Raptor Retreat is the Main Lodge where guests can gather to either dine on good old-fashioned home cooking or catch up on their adventures.
