Uncle Tom's Guest House

Uncle Tom's Guest House is a 3 Star (TGCSA) graded establishment located less than 3km from the entrance to the Kruger National Park and just off the main road leading to the park gate. It offers guests a home away from home experience with farm-style cooking. The establishment has two guesthouses that provide easy access to the town center, sports grounds, hospital, and surrounding areas.

The rooms and garden are designed to be comfortable and relaxing, with safe parking, a lockup gate, a pool, and braai facilities. All rooms are tastefully furnished and equipped with air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, microwave ovens, fridges, and complimentary coffee, tea, and sugar. The establishment arranges night drives and guided walks in the Kruger National Park for its valued guests.

Phalaborwa, once inhabited only by wildlife, is the only town located on the border of the Kruger National Park. The town, with a population of 30,000, is known for its excellent semi-tropical climate with year-round sunshine. It is a popular tourist destination that offers attractions such as the Hans Merensky Golfing Estate, the Gateway Airport, the Masorini heritage site, and the Phalaborwa Mining Company's massive open-pit mine.

The surrounding areas offer additional attractions like Pilgrim's Rest, Buffalo Project, Mac Mac Pools, Graskop Gorge Swing, God's Window, Three Rondavels, Bourke's Luck Potholes, Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, and the White Lions of the Timbavati. Visitors can also explore the Amarula Lapa, where sap from the Marula fruit is extracted for making Amarula Cru00e8me Liquor.
