Why Travelers Love Kruger Station
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.3 / 5.0(892 reviews)
Interest game food menu and everything is tasty and not too pricy. An awesome city restaurant with everything you need and enjoy with a bar and amazing theme of the train station with wonderful stadf and great food in the safari is just what you need after a long day game viewing. Sometimes food can take up to 45min to arrive so be prepared. It is not fast food. Love this place. We came here twice for dinner and once for breakfast. The food is super delicious! The selection of dishes and drinks is large and also innovative. Everyone will find something here! The portions are quite generous. Overall, the restaurant is very stylishly furnished. The prices are a bit higher than at the other restaurant in the camp, but it’s definitely worth eating here! Absolutely love the style of this restaurant. The open-air area is really refreshing and takes full advantage of the beautiful surrounds, and the dining area inside the train is classic and unique. The food was fresh, delicious, and satisfying, and the staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. The prices were decent, especially for the quality of the food.

Kruger Station in Skukuza is a real gem - the setting in the old railway station is unique and full of atmosphere. The food was excellent, with by far the best vegan selection we found anywhere in Kruger National Park. We especially loved the vegan make-your-own pizza, poke bowl with tofu and fresh brekky. Friendly staff and a relaxed vibe made the whole experience even better. We’d happily come back any time.

The location mimics a station. You can choose to be seated in an actual train, or on the terrace. The food was fantastic, as well as the service. We had the crocodile steak and the pulled bbq pizza.
