Visitor management is a vital part of ensuring the best possible experience for all visitors to the Kruger National Park (KNP) over the coming long weekend starting on Thursday.
With this in mind, Mpumalanga News reports that the South African National Parks would like to remind Day Visitors to the Kruger National Park that daily quotas will once again apply at the entrance gates.

Visitors are urged to make pre-bookings for their visits prior to their arrival and there are three time slots which they can choose from as follows:
The times slots below will apply from 29 to 31 March 2018:
- Time slot 1: 05:30 to 07:30
- Time slot 2: 07:30 to 09:30
- Time slot 3: 09:30 onwards
The times slots below will apply as from 1 April 2018 onwards
- Time slot 1: 06.00 to 08:00
- Time slot 2: 08:00 to 10:00
- Time slot 3: 10:00 onwards
“For busy periods such as the school holidays and long weekends, we aim to optimally manage the volumes that we expect, as well as our visitors’ expectations. The three different time slots are aimed at improving the spread of vehicles and, as far as possible prevent unnecessary waiting periods at gates”, said the KNP’s communications and marketing officer, William Mabasa.
The Day Visitor Quota for the Park is a management tool to prevent overcrowding the roads and facilities, and is applied throughout the year although we mostly reach carrying capacity during long weekends and school holidays resulting in us having to turns visitors away.
Visitors will be able to book up to 80% of Day Visitor Quota per gate via SANParks Reservations offices and online at www.sanparks.org
