SA: Kruger National Park: – Tshokwane Picnic Spot

October 30, 2009

A popular stop between Skukuza and Satara Under the shade of a great sausage tree (Kigelia africana) and surrounded by the open, untamed bush, guests that stop at Tshokwane Trading Post & Picnic Site can look forward to stoep-style seating, authentically-South African fare, colourful, hand-crafted souvenirs and so much more. Location, location, location! Tshokwane was established in 1928, initially as a ranger post by Kruger Park’s first warden - James Stevenson-Hamilton, and was named after a local Shangaan chief, known as Chokwane. The site actually went through a revamp several years ago, further enhancing its appeal to guests that make their way from camps in the south of the Kruger National Park, like Skukuza and Pretoriuskop Rest Camp to the ones in the north. This trading post is also surely one of the stops that you’ll make if you decide to embark on some of the game drive routes between Skukuza and Satara Rest Camp.

🙂 A Handy stop!

🙁 Slow Service
