The space
If you’re looking for an affordable, fun, eco-friendly experience close to Kruger National Park, look no further than Shik Shack Backpackers. Located just 32 km from Kruger’s Orpen Gate, we are located on an Eco village - community project which is home to a creche, permaculture garden, seven dogs, a donkeys and a coop full of chickens and roosters. Rustic accommodation is available in compact thatched huts, with shared ablutions and shared self-catering kitchen. Our common area includes a food prep area/lounge (made entirely from recycled materials, and incorporating simple water saving, and recycling ideas) a fire pit and barbecue, a fridge and stove is also available. You’ll enjoy a mountain view and star gazing at night – here it’s all about moonlight and firelight.

If it’s luxury accommodation you’re looking for , keep looking – this isn’t it. We do have dust, dogs, and it get's HOT. But we are perfectly located from all the adventure spots, and can organise Kruger safaris, quadbiking, bicycle tours, white water rafting, Blyde Boat trips, Panorama route tours and so much more.

We’re located on the property of Nourish Non Profit Organisation, so please be mindful of locking the gate and drive carefully. Donations for Nourish can be left at the Shik Shack office if you wish to support their work in community resilience.

Free private parking is available on site. Free WIFI and electrical plug points can be accessed 24 hours a day in our WIFI zone. For check-ins after 4pm and on weekends expect to be greeted by our security guard on-site who will show you around, our English and communication skills might be rudimentary, but it's all part of our process of capacity building community tourism and creating opportunities and job creation at a grassroots level through Shik Shack... if you buy into this, wanting a better planet for people, and the environment, then you'll get our ethos, and your time here will leave you happy and inspired.

Come STAY and PLAY in our beautiful part of Africa.

Other things to note
Please note we do have dogs on the premises. Also as we are in a wildlife area, please walk with a torch at night to avoid stepping on unexpected guests. If you do encounter any snakes, spiders or scorpions (very rare) please ask our security guard or any other staff member to assist.
