| In the most remote part of Kruger National Park lies the vast concession awarded to The Outpost as a result of a ground-breaking agreement between the Makuleke People and the South African National Parks Board. This region, formerly known as the Pafuri region, is in the northernmost part of Kruger National Park and is bordered to the north by the Limpopo and Zimbabwe and to the East by Crooks Corner.
The Makuleke Region falls in the epicentre of the Great Limpopo Park which comprises Kruger National Park, the Gaza National Park in Mozambique and the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe. This visionary park has become a reality and it is expected that as early as mid 2003 guests of The Outpost will be able to visit the Mozambican and Zimbabwean parts of the Peace Park without requiring visas and without having to exit the Peace Park.
The region's rich historical and cultural heritage, can be explored by guided visits to Crooks Corner and the Thulamela archeological site overlooking the Luvuvhu River. Articles dating from 1460 to 1640 have been found tying them to the last phase of the Zimbabwe culture. In the late 19th century, the historic Ivory Route passed along the Luvuvhu River to Crooks corner at the confluence of the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers and the border of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa. |

| Facilities
Michelin Chef Robert Bowman is in charge of the kitchen at The Outpost. Notwithstanding its remote location, The Outpost strives to provide excellent cuisine. The style of food reflects its African surroundings. | Accommodation
12 stand-alone en suite rooms
Guests rooms are placed alongside a walkway half way up a hill overlooking the Luvuvhu River. The rooms are essentially of modern design with foldaway glass sides and frontage offering 180-degree views of the Luvuvhu River Valley. The open feel of the rooms is extended into the bathroom where guests are afforded a view which extends as far as Mozambique. | Family
The Outpost does not have a very strict children’s policy. However, whether children are accepted depends on availability and how full the lodge. Please also note that due to the fact that the rooms are open and that it is built on the side of a mountain, it is not very safe for young children.
