Kruger National Park/Phalaborwa

The park is huge; it's hard to see animals unless you are directed. If you are driving a small car in a rainy season, don't go offroad; you will get stuck.

The Kruger National Park is always an amazing experience. This was the first time that we saw lions and it was awesome. Phalaborwa gate is nice, but the bathrooms need some attention.

Efficient access. Professional, friendly staff.

Easy entrance. It costs around $25usd with current exchange rates to enter the park. Good services. Bathrooms. Gift and food shop. You can but maps, guide books and all the essentials you will need to enjoy your drive or stay in the park. We were not disappointed in the amount of wildlife we saw.

Reception staff are super friendly and efficient. It took the maintenance team 2 years to repair a leaking tap. I reported it regularly but no one bothered to fix it. Bathrooms are dirty. Shop staff are helpful. The best toasted sandwiches come from the community shop at the gate. I highly recommend that you buy a few for your drive.

Friendly staff and very informative . The guards are very friendly people even though at first you'd be very reluctant to approach them but once you do approach them and in good terms, they are very friendly just don't do things you weren't supposed to do. This gate is also very clean and well maintained.

The staff at this gate are outstanding and efficient. Both reception and security are always very welcoming and the queue generally moves quickly. The shop is usually poorly stocked with latest maps unfortunately.

Efficient, effective and very professional. Made the online booking for a DAY Visit to the Kruger, paid on line, reference number and allocated time slots for entry to the reserve.Online system smooth -registered with reference number. Documents sent to my email - Complete the documents on line if possible and print, as they require printed forms, to avoid the queue and completing forms at registration table. Do take your own pen. Took us less than 10min to gain entry to the park. Buffalo within the first 5 minutes of out drive - Off to a great start.

Guys, get out and go out there at Kruger National Park in anyone of their camps and enjoy yourselves from swimming to watching the animals to birds watching lovers and photographic and touring inside the camps. You will never go wrong

Clinton our tour guide with Bush babies was amazing. He knew the park so well! We saw 5 baby lion cubs as soon as the park opened. Afterwards we saw a pack of wild dogs on one side of the road and directly opposite were the hyenas. We did not see a large male lion, lioness, cheetah , leopard , or rhino. But we saw so many other animals it was amazing! The views are like no other.
