KNP gate quotas in force during September holiday

Guests are urged to pre-book, as the park is expecting a high volume of visitors.

The Kruger National Park is expecting a high volume of visitors to enter the park during this Heritage Day-weekend from Thursday, September 24 to Sunday, September 27. Day visitors to the park are advised to book their visit in advance to secure their entry and reminded that gate daily quotas will strictly be enforced during this period.

Day visitors are urged to either arrive at the gate very early in the morning as the service is on first-come-first-served basis or to pre-book their entrance via central reservations (012-428-9111).

The procedure is that once the daily quota has been reached, only people with bookings are allowed in. It is possible that more people will be allowed to enter the park if there are people moving out of the park, but it there are no guarantees.

Day visitors who pre-book their visit are expected to pay a non-refundable deposit of R46 per adult and R23 per child, which is meant to secure their space as they will be counted in the number that makes the daily quota. Day visitors with advanced bookings are also expected to arrive at their booked gate by no later than 13:00 on the date of the booking – after 13:00 the booking lapses.

Visitors are also reminded of the rules and regulations of the park, with particular emphasis on littering, speeding, getting out of cars and loud noises. Furthermore, visitors are also cautioned of the Covid-19 rules and regulations even though we are operating under Level 1 guidelines.
