South African National Parks (SANParks) has confirmed that the Skukuza Safari Lodge, located located within the Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger National Park, remains fully operational, after a fire damaged part of its restaurant dining hall on 29 October 2025.
According to SANParks, guests were safely evacuated from the restaurant, and no injuries were reported during the incident. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
To ensure minimal disruption to guests, a temporary dining facility has been established at the lodge, supported by back-up systems to maintain normal operations. While a section of the restaurant roof was damaged by the fire and water used during firefighting efforts, clean-up and repair work is already underway.
SANParks and aha Hotels & Lodges, which manages the Skukuza Safari Lodge, have expressed their gratitude to the Skukuza Airport emergency team, SANParks rangers, and the Bushbuckridge Fire Brigade for their rapid and effective response that helped contain the situation swiftly.
Further updates on the restoration progress will be shared as they become available.
