Accommodations - Reservation Deadline is March 31, 2018

We have a group booking for very reasonably-priced and conveniently-located accommodations in the Skukuza Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park. 

For more information on the types of accommodation visit the San Parks website here.

Accommodation bookings for the symposium have to be made through one of the three individuals listed below. Do not use any other website or agent. Due to the distances between rest camps in the Kruger National Park and restrictions on travel outside the camp after dark, all accommodation for the conference has been reserved at Skukuza. As a reminder, entrance gates open at 06:00 AM and close at 17:30 (5:30 PM).

Helpful Reminders:

PLEASE NOTE: All prices are per unit per night, not per person. This is the only accommodation available for this period and so bookings cannot be made through the SanParks website or central reservations. As you are booked for the symposium the daily conservation fees that are usually charged if you stay in the Kruger Park will not be charged for the period of the conference (this does not include Thursday) however they would be charged if you choose to stay over for additional night days either before or after the conference.Once you arrive, you would collect your keys from the conference venue and not from the main reception.

Attendees are reminded that booking of accommodation for their requirements for the symposium is their own responsibility. IASWG will not be making any accommodation bookings however for a limited amount of time the conference center has reserved accommodation for attendees attending our symposium.
