Arrival planning
Before you arrive
- Confirm accommodation address, arrival time, gate access and host contact.
- Save online maps for Marloth Park, Komatipoort, Malalane, Crocodile Bridge and Malelane Gate.
- Collect first-night basics before entering Marloth Park: water, groceries, wood, snacks and breakfast items.
Kruger first day
Keep the first Kruger day sensible.
- Choose one realistic first route instead of trying to cover every road.
- Check official SANParks gate times, entry rules, fees and permit requirements before departure.
- Set a safe turn-back time before sightings, heat or slow roads make the return rushed.
Family comfort
Plan for a slower, easier day.
- Pack snacks, water, hats, sunscreen, wipes, bags and medication.
- Keep routes shorter for children, heat, bathrooms and patience.
- End early enough that the return still feels calm.
