 The village at Skukuza is not fenced in like the rest camp is, and there have been multiple incidents of people in the staff village being killed by wildlife, especially leopards.There is a fairly dense population of big cats near Skukuza, which is part of the draw for tourists but also makes the area more dangerous.Skukuza has a Subtropical highland climate with a dry winter and warm summer (Köppen climate classification type Cwb) typical of much of northeastern South Africa.
