When I returned to SA from the USA in 2003, I also brought with me my portable (Coleman) campring stove, hoping to find the same type of disposable gas (propane) bottles in SA.
My portable camping stove eventually became a disposable (disposed) camping stove, as I could not find these locally.
Of course, just after I got rid of the stove (it went back to the USA with a backpacker), these disposable bottles became available in SA
I seem to recall seeing these in some camps in the Park (I guess that was your question, the availability in the Kruger Park Rest Camp stores), but I cannot be sure.
I am off to the KNP in just under a week, so I could check while I am there.
I do know that these types of gas bottles are freely available outside of the park.....

Hi winnydpu - Disposable cartridges are in fact available .
There are two types - the one like in my pic has a fitment that screws into the stove/lamp , etc and can be unscrewed afterwards with any remaining gas still sealed in the bottle .



With the other type, the bottle is punctured when screwed in and have to remain attached to the lamp/stove to prevent remaining gas to escape .

I have seen these cartridges in camp shops , but not sure which one it was .

15 sleeps to go plus a night on the plane and a night at JNB...

Thinking about my morning caffeine, husband is fine with Coke.
Shall I bring some instant or is there a coffee maker/percolator?
We will be at Lower Sabie tent, Satara and Talamati bushveld, all booked with kitchen facilities.
We were there 3 years ago and I don't recall any actual coffee maker, just a tea pot for hot water.

Would rather not have to bother getting something to go from the restaurant.

I'm a Yank, and like my nice black coffee in the morning.

Hi there,
no coffee maker I'm afraid, just a kettle/tea pot, so bring your own instant coffee of choice!

We took along those little Starbucks tubes and used them every morning. Not great coffee but better than none.

Coffee pots (the plunger type) are available at some of the park shops as is very good ground coffee! Well worth getting if you like a good morning coffee - that is what we did earlier this month and it worked very well.

hi dear forumites. does anyone know for sure if there are microwave oven in :
* Skukuza luxury units
* Biyamiti bungalows

Thanks to you all

Yes, they are

In both camps as well as in Crocodile Bridge camp

In Skukuza in the luxury riverfront bungalows

thank you...... !!!!
I didn't ask about Satara , but i guess there isn't (units in front of the fence)?

dont think Satara have microwave ovens

Skukuza confirmed luxury units have microwave ovens
Satara , don't.
Biyamiti , didn't answer.
(could help others in the future, who knows

Biyamiti do definitely offer microwaves in the accommodations and if I am not wrong Bateleur as well.

Maybe the one in which you stayed had not one because same way broken.

The semi luxury river view bungalows in Skukuza do also have one but only since this year

I can confirm the above!
