Re: Which gate to use to enter the park?
I don't blame you, RP lives there. 

Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

I think we will try to leave very early like Flutterby said and enter the park early in the morning![]()
Thanks for all the tips....so happy to be part of this forum![]()

Ja, send them all up there and leave Nelspruit-Malelane for the very few who like driving inside the park, it's only 150km or something to Satara then -O

For our trip in August we've decided to enter at Phalaborwa. Our first night is at Tamboti and the rest in the south, so thought we might as well see some of the north while we can.

It is a long one, but doable!
Flutters, think about spending the first night here at the river. It would be a perfect way to start your trip.
