FBI post :PLEASE NOTE: *R536 Hazyview - Paul Kruger Gate*
Please note that a planned march will take place tomorrow 13 Feb starting at 07:00 in Mkhuhlu area which may affect traffic to Paul Kruger Gate. SANParks recommends that Phabeni and Numbi Gates be used as alternative access and exit from the Park.

Don't really agree with this
People go to Kruger at different times of the year for various reasons - work commitments, family commitments etc.

There were a few years when for various reasons, I could only go over the Festive Season. Not an ideal time, but had to take the opportunity as it was.

My last trip to Kruger was March 2019. Grass was very high in places. Bush was thick. Not ideal game viewing conditions. But once again, that was when I could travel
