The staff at the gate is so friendly and helpful, the gate is old but clean and well maintained, even the toilets are clean.

This is a place which is run by the government and yet we had top class service friendly and efficient. Well Done SanParks
Upon entering the park shortly after it opened at 5:30am, we saw giraffes, elephants, hundreds of antelopes of so many varieties and were totally amazed at their beauty. They seem to pay no mind at all to the visitors in their endless line of motor vehicles and sightseeing buses. It was easy to plan loops from Phabeni Gate daily and see something totally different every day. Travelling with just one companion we felt totally safe in our vehicle and found our way around easily, usually ending up at Skukuza for a late brunch or early lunch. Then we spent the afternoon finding our way around another area of the park returning to Phabeni Gate because we were staying in a resort in Hazyview. It was amazing!
One of a kind experience just waking up in the woods and feeling all peaceful. Stayed at the kruger park hotel and was surprised by how good the place was. The drive in the national park was something to experience once in your life.
The park is wonderful, large, the roads are very good, the restaurant and recreational area are well organized and we could spot many animals, a wonderful experience, unique, a must if you are around
It had been one of my life's ambitions to go on safari in Kenya and take photographs as a professional photographer but this journey is good enough for me. It wasn't Kenya and I was a retired civil servant and with the amount of game and sometimes when we got close up to some of the animals - well the photo took itself !! I had chosen to go on an Explore Worldwide trip and I was blown away by the experience - it took me over 40 years to get there but I can assure you that it was worth the wait.
I apologise for the amount of photos that I am posting but for me they are all special. Enjpy !
