Celebrations at the Kruger Station

As the festive season has just passed, Kruger Station in the heart of Kruger National Park was preparing to offer an extraordinary holiday experience. Situated in Skukuza Rest Camp along the historic Selati line, this vibrant lifestyle precinct is set to charm visitors with a lovely array of family-friendly activities, exquisite dining options, and entertainment.

The Rich Heritage of Kruger Station

Once a haven for the park’s earliest visitors, Kruger Station continues to celebrate its rich heritage, having evolved from luxury sundowner feasts along the banks of the Sabie River to a modern destination that honours South Africa’s biodiversity. Gavin Ferreira, Concession General Manager at Kruger Station, emphasized the essence of the festive experience: “We’ve thought of everything, from start to finish, so that all you have to do is sit back, relax and appreciate this iconic wildlife destination with those close to your heart – just as mother nature intended it.”

Spoil yourself with the holiday flavours at 3638 Restaurant

The culinary highlight of the festive season is unquestionable the extravagant Christmas buffet at 3638 Restaurant. Head Chef Vusi Mbatha invites guests to indulge in a sentimental dining experience aboard a train carriage, where they can enjoy a traditional Christmas feast on 25 December for R495 per person.

Also the buffet features a generous harvest table, a ‘make-your-own’ salad bar, and an attractive selection of cold starters and hot dishes. Guests can look forward to holiday favorites such as roast turkey with a lemon and thyme garlic butter sauce, herb-crusted roast beef, glazed gammon, and pan-fried line fish.
