I download the form from Sanparks website, print it out and fill it in at home. Then when i arrive at the gate i save time

First time I went to the gate, I took a bunch of forms and from then on, I filled it in beforehand

if you pre-book 0-2 you need to arrive inside the time slot else the pre-booking has lapsed and you will be counted as a normal day visitor
We normal plan to arrive about 30 minutes prior to gate opening to get in the queue .this normally means we in the 2nd or third batch of processed vehicles .You also need to remember that the OSV's get preference even over pre-booked visitors so that can also delay the gate .We also found in December that croc bridge got very very bad at processing not sure the reasons why but there was regularly only one gate open so it was faster to park and go into the office than wait to queue for the gate to capture our details .We usual y recommend grabbing a handful of entry forms on first visit and fill them all in it was and still is a suggestion from us that pre-bookings should allow pre-filling in an online form to allow quicker processing .
Forgot to say thanks for the further info Roger - much appreciated

A sign of intelligence
Or possibly confusion
The good news is we found a couple of places to stay so we're heading there for 12 nights which we're all really looking forward to
Also exciting is that the grandparents will be joining us from the UK
Unlike previous visits I think we'll be taking things a bit easier on the game drive front... mix it up a bit with some nice walks around Marloth as well
I see they do sunset and night drives from Crocodile Bridge gate now... has anyone tried that before? Any good?
Had to put a question or two in there just to keep RP happy

IMO the various drives is a question of luck of many kinds. Personally, I do not favour them, but maybe for the kids, it could be fun

Good thing you are going in winter!
(remember to pack woolies, especially for night drive!)
CB is under half an hour's drive from Marloth, depending on where you are staying.
