The Kruger National Park implements quotas for Easter weekend
SANParks urges visitors to book in advance to secure their spot from April 18 to 21.
If you and your family are looking to enjoy your Easter weekend at one of Africa’s largest game reserves, the Kruger National Park (KNP), here is what you need to know.
SANParks urges visitors to book in advance to secure their spot from April 18 to 21. There will be a limited number of visitors allowed per gate; they are therefore advised to book online ahead of their visit.
The gate entry quotas will be implemented at the following time slots: 06:00 to 08:00, 08:00 to 10:00 and 10:00 onwards.
Tourists are urged not to remove the no entry signs on the KNP roads as this can pose danger to others. SANParks also encourages motorists with temporary number plates to provide documentation at the gates because vehicles with missing number plates will not be allowed to enter or exit the entrance gates.

“Any vehicle found inside the park with missing number plates will be impounded and the driver will be charged under the National Environment Management: Protected Areas Act,” a statement reads.
There will be increased visibility of both traffic officials and visitor management personnel to monitor speeding, after-hours travelling and general behaviour on the roads.
SANParks further advises visitors to co-operate with on-duty officials and to report unbecoming behaviour to the gate officials or call the centre number on the entry permits. Visitors can consult camp and gate receptions for updated information on road closures or visit SANParks’ social media platforms.
