Crocodile Bridge Gate is a popular way into southern Kruger and is within easy reach of Marloth Park. Leave early for a full day in the park, or take a day off between drives and stay at the guesthouse.
On a self-drive safari, you decide the route and how long to stop. Choose a drive that suits the family and take breaks at the rest camps. Check current gate times, conservation fees and park rules on the official SANParks website before you go.
Pack water, snacks, sunscreen, hats and something warm for the early morning. Keep binoculars close and let the day unfold. Children usually enjoy the drive more when there are breaks and no pressure to find a particular animal.
If you would rather let someone else drive, ask about guided safaris with registered local operators. Bookings, prices and availability are handled by the operator.
