FAMILY SELF DRIVE INSIDE KRUGER
Dec 2020
My sister and her husband took us into Kruger National Park for dive to see the animals. We drove ourselves. We were fortunate to spot the lions, elephants, monkeys, Zebras, buffalos and many more. It was just a nice experience. Definitely to be repeated.

A passage into the KNP
Mar 2020
Phalaborwa Gate is really only an entry route into the KNP. It has never been a prolific game viewing area and is a busy road especially at weekends as the locals go into the Park. Currently bush is very thick and grass is long. We saw nothing until near Letaba.

Phalaborwa Gate offers an interesting landscape; granite stands forms a series of kloppies that have been used as navigational landmarks for centuries. The grass of this region is both sweet and sour, but is usually scattered due to lack of rainfall.
The best game spotting is in the drainage lines and the contours around dry stream beds as the more luscious grasses are usually found in the lower lying areas. You have an opportunity to exit your vehicle within 10 kilometres/6.2 miles from entering Phalaborwa Gate

Poor service at Phabeni gate (night drive)
Sep 2019 • Family
Good day to whom is reading this . My family and I have booked a night drive at the Kruger park at Phabeni gate and we have driven over 40km from our resort and asked to cancel our drive they refused and on-top of that the driver didn’t pitch for the drive and the person organizing this was terrible. Poor service and communication skills from their side . Absolutely poor poor poor service not recommended .

Amazing full day
Dec 2018
It was my first time in wilderness and I enjoyed every moment of it during an entire day. It can be quite silent for a well while and then there can be stunning mobilities. I am looking forward to going back!

Beautiful experience for animal lovers
Jan 2019 • Family
Lovely one full day at Kruger national park , Phalaborwa gate ...on self drive . Worth visiting for animal lovers. Elephants, deers , giraffes and zebras in the middle of the road at game drive and lions relaxing in the shade of a tree as it was very hot day .
I would like to suggest if you want to visit stay at Hazyview and do game drive between satara to lower sabi . Unfortunately we didn’t get accommodation at Haziview....so we did it at Phalaborwa .

Phalaborwa Gate
Dec 2018 • Family
Shocking!!!!! I know it was Christmas day, but the amount of day visitors waiting to get into the park were partying, drunk, approaching vehicles and lying on the lawn was terrible to see, it was noisy, dirty and should not be allowed.

Hi there, i am planning to visit Phalaborwa gate in Kruger. My aim is wildlife photography. What animals can you see there?
And i will spend almost 3 months there. Would you recommend this place in terms of photographic opportunities?
I would love to see lions and other predator cats the most. I have been to the Lower Sabie, Crocodile Bridge, Skukuza and it was brilliant experience. (South of Kruger) So i am trying to decide if this area is worth to settle for 3 months for photographic purposes. Thanks

Personally, for photographic experiences, unless you are self-driving, I would not visit Kruger and would focus my efforts on other parks in South Africa and elsewhere. The ability to get close to animals or find animals in a hunt is limited in comparison to other parks.

I was wondering how to contact the company? I'm in a different country and cannot call, but the website isn't working. I would like to enquire about booking a safari

Hola quiero saber si el safari puede tomarse en el momento o hay que reservarlo antes, como se abona. Si puede pagarse con tarjeta. Gracias
