Easter 2023: Kruger National Park enforces daily gate quotas!

South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that daily quotas will once again apply at the entrance gates of Kruger National Park during the Easter long weekend as an increased number of visitors is expected. Three time slots have been introduced, of which day visitos can choose from. Visitors are urged to make pre-bookings for their visits prior to their arrival. The times slots below will apply:

• Time slot 1: 06.00 to 08:00
• Time slot 2: 08:00 to 10:00
• Time slot 3: 10:00 onwards

There are still gravel roads that are closed in the South of Kruger National Park due to flooding. Repairs are underway on the main road between Skukuza and Lower Sabie which was extensively damaged and remain closed. Visitors are urged not to remove signs indicating that a road is closed as that will pose a danger to other motorists.
