According to SANParks, pre-booking will allow them to secure up to 80% of the Day Visitor Quota per gate. This can be done via SANParks Reservations offices and online.
The day visitor quota for the park is a management tool to prevent overcrowding on the roads and facilities.
The quota will apply at gates of entry including Crocodile Bridge, Malelane, Numbi, Phabeni, Paul Kruger, Orpen, Phalaborwa, Punda Maria, Pafuri and Giriyondo Port of Entry.
