What animals can you see without even leaving Kruger Eden Lodge?
Theoretically, you wouldn’t need to go to the Kruger National Park and you could still see almost all of the species that live there. You could just stay in our lodge and see a lot. You could also walk along the fence to Kruger Park from here, even with a chance of seeing the Big 5. We therefore recommend planning a few more days and not just rushing from safari to safari. So it’s well worth spending the day relaxing on your own terrace or in the jacuzzi and enjoying the 24-hour wildlife show from there.
This is a very incomplete list of species that can regularly be seen directly in the lodge. Of course there is no guarantee. But the more time you spend, the more you see. The nature experience is even more intense and relaxed than in the car, especially since some animals also come very close. When a mighty kudu buck mauling a bush just 2-3 m away from you with its huge horns, it can be more impressive than seeing a lion lying asleep 100 m away in the gras. Feeding or touching is of course strictly prohibited!
