Introduction

Self-drive is the most popular way to visit Kruger, and there are many places to stay inside Kruger for people to use as a base whilst they explore the Park.

Lion - Kruger Staying in the Park is extremely popular with locals and overseas visitors alike, and booking in advance is essential as the camps do get booked up, especially over the key holiday periods.

Driving in the Park

Giraffe - Kruger In the Kruger Park, there is an excellent infrastructure of roads, some of which are tarred, others gravel. Good, clear signposts and maps help to make the driving experience easy and enjoyable.

The speed limit is 50 km/h (30 mph) on the tarred roads, and 40 km/h (25 mph) on the gravel roads - and there are speed traps in operation!

Drivers MUST remain on the roads at all times, and are NOT allowed to drive off-road or get out of their vehicles, except at designated viewing points.

Zebra - Kruger There are also several excellent picnic sites, all with toilet and cafeteria facilities, where you can also sit outside at tables and enjoy the sun for a while.

To help you plan your route through the Kruger Park, see our detailed map for self-drive visitors, and read more about the different regions within the Park that you can explore.
