Location:
Plains Camp Tented Safari Lodge is located in a private concession in Kruger National Park, South Africa. The area is only 20 minutes from Skukuza, the heart of Kruger National Park, so getting there is easy by air or by road.
The Kruger Park region has a subtropical climate with hot rainy summers and startling thunderstorms starting in October and ending around March. Traditionally, the best game viewing is in winter as the vegetation becomes sparse.
