Travel and Work while on Safari – A Digital Nomad dream experience
Venturing into uncharted territories, the phenomenon of digital nomadism takes an extraordinary twist in 2023, elevating remote work to new heights.
As the allure of flexible and daring lifestyles gains traction, professionals in South Africa and elsewhere are rewriting the rules of work, hopping from one captivating location to another.
According to a Fiverr survey, 34% of ‘Anywhere Workers’ are now drawn to a lifestyle that combines travel and work, a departure from the confines of the traditional 9-to-5 office grind.
For those digital nomads who seek the perfect equilibrium between work and play, the Kruger National Park beckons with a promise of a similar experience.

Safari Adventure For Digital Nomad Travelers.
Imagine awakening in the heart of Africa, enveloped by breathtaking wilderness and commencing your workday with a view that encompasses the untamed beauty of the Kruger Park.
Nestled along the Sabie River, the Kruger Gate Hotel stands as an ideal anchor for an unforgettable working retreat in the wilderness.
As digital nomads immerse themselves in the heart of the wild, they gain a unique opportunity to check off thrilling bucket-list adventures, including open-air safaris.
Moreover, a staggering 73% of business travelers express their readiness to decline travel opportunities if safety is not assured.
Anton Gillis, CEO of Kruger Gate Hotel, articulates the extraordinary offering: “Only a few places in the world provide such seamless WiFi connectivity, allowing for a serene workday in the midst of the wild. This seamlessly transitions into thrilling safaris or soothing spa indulgences within minutes. Digital nomads here truly experience the pinnacle of both business and leisure in a single destination, with the assurance of uninterrupted online connectivity through our backup generators.”
Africa stands as an exclusive realm where the fusion of work and untamed adventure crafts an odyssey found nowhere else, painting the portrait of a life lived vividly.
The Kruger National Park is South Africa’s largest game reserve. With more than 7,500 square miles (19,400 square kilometers) of bush and savannah, the park is home to Africa’s Big Five: lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo.
