The reopening of Skukuza Safari Lodge highlights a significant public-private partnership involving SanParks, aha Hotels & Lodges (a Tourvest division), and Karibu Leisure Resorts, a 100% female black-owned company. This partnership aims to generate meaningful employment and ensure that local communities around Kruger National Park benefit directly from the lodge’s success.
