Huts are the most basic type of Kruger lodge. They’re typically small round buildings with thatched roofs. This style of building is known as a rondavel. In most African countries tribes found it easier to build round huts out of mud with thatched roofs and you still see many of these as you travel around Africa. Some are painted in their unique tribal colours or just plain mud huts. Of course the huts in Kruger are made out of brick with thatched roofs.
