Malelane Gate, Kruger National Park

What nice experience for night game drive with Kgomotso! She has vast knowledge of the wildlife! Security officials knocked of earlier without proper handing over at the gate and parcels were locked in their safe with no keys to be found!!Visited onPublic holidayWait time30–60 minReservation recommendedNo

What is not to love about entering the Kruger Park? Friendly professional staff handled a busy morning with ease and confidence, ushering people and vehicles through the check in system quickly. A clean neat gate into paradise....Visited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYes

Gate entry processed quickly once you have filled out the form. Take a pen to speed things up. If you are going for multiple days take some entry forms to complete in advance for subsequent days. Make sure to not take alcohol or firearms with you. Alcohol is easy to buy at the shops and restaurants once inside. Lots of good game sighted in a relatively short time. Useful to buy the thin Kruger info book from one of the shops. Has a great map of the park and an animal/bird identifier section.

Friendly staff. Excellent location. Big chance to see big five on one day.

Easily reached from Nelspruit, usually a relatively quick procedure to enter the Kruger Park. Often some nice game viewing in the vicinity of the gate.Visited onWeekendWait time10–30 min

Lovely little camp, beautiful gardens beneath tall trees. Catering for needs of campers, eg two gas stoves with ovens, freezer, etc.

Very efficient in view of 20 mini busses, 8 bendy-busses and masses of school kids arriving at the same time. All went smoothly Parking: There is normally tons of space and it was still not too had

We did a self drive, thoroughly enjoyed it. Stopped mid way for food and refreshments, the bathrooms were clean and there's a picnic spot for those who brought their own food. Stopped again at a lookout spot where we could take more pics.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYes

It was a fast and easy process filling out the entry forms and paying the entrance fee. The SANparks staff were friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. No need to pay or book in advance as this gate is rather empty as compared to Crocodile Bridge Gate Ample parking space and the ablutions were clean and smelt fresh. The road towards the gate and after the gate are in good condition. Have fun and enjoy!
