Congestion at Sightings

[Bushcraft]

The Vurhami pride where out and about almost every day around 3km from Croc Bridge and the road looked like this every day.

I sat at this for half an hour and the traffic didn't move, the guy in front of me eventually got out his car and started screaming and shouting.

Is this fun on holiday? Sorry, not for me

We saw the info on whats app and decided to give lower sabie and Crocodile Bridge a wide berth, If I want to see lions will see them in the Kgalagadi away from all those idiots

that would have driven me mad. I would have wanted to leave the park it looks like a mobile zoo not sure whether animals are inside or outside the vehicles.

Crazy...glad we decided not to head down there! We had two sightings that were crowded but those were around Satara. Our sightings in the south were actually a pleasure!

really like in a zoo...
or out of the car... or traffic jam

[Richprins]

Just too many day visitors allowed in!

[H. erectus]

No i'm afraid this kind of scenario not for me!!
Then rather I park on my stoep and stare forth,..

Is this another madness shared via the sightings reporting groups ?

When we left Kruger on Monday 28th April via Phabeni, the traffic coming up the S1 was crazy...especially the jeep jockeys. In one "convoy" there were 15 of them!! When we got to the gate we couldn't believe the queue that was still forming...it must have been at least an hour's wait to get into the park...crazy!!

I had a quiet drive from Lower Sabie until I hit this and it wasn’t from the “sighting groups” as it was still too early for those updates, which generally start to come through from around 8am.

This chaos was from day visitors and the next day was exactly the same. A massive traffic jam 2km from Croc Bridge for an elephant in the bush, then another even bigger one for lions so far away that I could hardly see them and when I finally managed to get through it all and arrive at Croc Bridge to use the loo; the queues of people still trying to get in the park was down towards the Croc River Bridge

When I stayed at Croc Bridge last year for 3 nights in the school holidays; I had to head back towards camp half an hour before I would normally have, just because I got jammed in the day visitor gang trying to leave the park. The traffic stopped all 3 days more than 1.5km from the camp. I was just waiting to use the excuse “I’m late for camp, because you let too many day visitors in”
