South African National Parks has begun welcoming visitors to the Kruger National Park for the Easter holidays, and is urging visitors to observe the rules of the park that are primarily intended to ensure safe and pleasant experiences.
The park is expecting an increased number of visitors this Easter as it coincides with the school holidays, and has thus far recorded high occupancy rates for both camping and accommodation.
Gate quotas will be implemented for day visitors during the Easter long weekend (March 29 to April 1) and visitors are advised to book online ahead of their visit.
Special attention is also drawn to operational times as it pertains to the gate quotas:
- Time slot 1: 06h00 to 08h00
- Time slot 2: 08h00 to 10h00
- Time slot 3: 10h00 onwards
