What travellers are saying
- ofer galEssex, UK105 contributionsThis is a very big statement to make from a someone who has been to so many countries, but truly, there is no place like Kruger in the world for so many reasons, and I think after visiting for the 4th Time, I am a little bit qualified to express my informed opinion.
This is probably the only place in the world where you can make your own safari by renting a car, drive and stay in the park and book directly with South Africa National Parks.
I can’t even start to describe this amazing experience, it will take too long, but if anyone need some advice what is the best way to do it, I am happy to help but you will need to do your own research first.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The ancient rock formations, with some dating back an astonishing 130 million years, are truly awe-inspiring.
The experience is remarkably affordable, with tickets priced at R120 per adult. Guided tours run every 10 minutes, ensuring a seamless and informative experience.
I highly recommend adding this natural wonder to your bucket list. The sheer magnitude and beauty of these ancient caves make for an unforgettable adventure.

Our guide, Angel was really great; she was had great customer service skills and was very knowledgeable. A worthwhile trip👍🏽😊Written 3 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Deirdre MLondon43 contributionsThe gardens are really beautiful, with an abundance of local flora and fauna. You can experience amazing waterfalls, streams, rai forests and indigenous plants and flowers, with interesting walks and hidden pathways.
Another delight is the restaurant at Gate 1 - a real hidden gem! Fabulous setting, interesting decor and great (as well as reasonably priced) food. The wait staff are also very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed it so much, we went back again.Written 22 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
