Adventure:
The Garden Route National Park has the potential to become a popular outdoor activity and adventure destination, as it has the quality products and range of experiences that can attract local and international enthusiasts. The Park provides opportunities to engage in mountain biking, hiking, cycling, canoeing, wilderness walks and bird viewing.

Sports and Events: The Garden Route National Park will focus much of its marketing activity on the marketing of events in the Region. A range of events, from sporting i.e. Trail Runs to leisure events such as Forest Concerts will be offered.
Garden Route National Park has the following general tourism marketing targets:

● To identify new products to ensure a diversity of visitor experiences, including adventure, leisure and sporting market segments
● To organise and coordinate annual and once off events successfully to combat seasonality patterns.

They won't stop till every tree,plant and animal is gone and then it will be too late 0*\ O/ O/ , sorry to sound negative but the people who has to protect our natural heritage don't care to protect the wild animals and plants, all they see is$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and thats the bottom line 0' 0= .

The day when a person who is passionate about protecting our wild friends comes forward and take over the management of Sanparks, that day will be a wonderfull day in this country, untill then it looks dark... very dark for the wellbeing off our wild animals and plants.....period 0= 0= 0-

Its the Skukuza Marathon and has been going on for Decades >> this is Skukuza and is not really part of Kruger >> I mean people play Golf EVERY Day on their unfenced Golf Course for decades and have Hotels and Railway Station Restaurants >> far more intrusive than humans running along a City Street like here

I mean Kids go to School at Skukuza Primary School and are not allowed to play on the Field before first period because Lions are lying on the Cricket Pitch and a few weeks ago there was no Church Service at the NG Kerk one Sunday as the Lions were on the Front door step >> Life goes on Harry in the Mega City of Skukuza
