Kruger National Park: Phabeni Gate is currently inaccessible
South African National Parks (SANParks) just informed the public that Kruger National Park's Phabeni Gate is currently inaccessible due to blockages by protesters. Guests are advised to use alternative gates such as Paul Kruger Gate to enter and exit the park.
Phabeni Gate is the closest entrance into the Kruger National Park from Hazyview and the best way to get into the southern parts of the National Park and Skukuza Main Rest Camp from Johannesburg and Pretoria. To get to Paul Kruger Gate, travellers should take the N4 to Nelspruit then take the R40 to White River, Hazyview via the R40. From Hazyview, take the R536 to the Paul Kruger Gate.
It is advised to allow between 5 to 6 hours for the trip to the gate. Skukuza Main Rest Camp is 12km (30 min) away from Paul Kruger Gate.
