Kruger gate quotas - how many people will be let through

The Kruger National Park has announced that it will be introducing gate quotas over the Christmas holidays.

The gate quotas are as follows:

• Giriyondo Gate – 275
• Pafuri Gate  – 385
• Punda Gate – 385
• Open Gate – 550
• Phalaborwa Gate - 550
• Phabeni Gate – 550
• Malelane Gate – 550
• Crocodile Bridge Gate – 385
• Numbi Gate – 550
•  Kruger Gate – 750

Day visitors are advised to book, because once the quota is reached those who haven't booked won't be let in. There will be a R28 per adult non-refundable deposit charged.

An advanced booking won't exempt visitors from paying a conservation charge at the gate. The quota limit won't affect people actually staying in the park overnight.
