    Don't be an idiot driver! It is amazing how often you see other drivers that get intimidated by the wildlife and decide that they are going to cause traffic mayhem by doing a 3 (5,7 or 9) point turn in front of the animals. This scares the animals who then behave in an eratic manner and they in turn scatter to all points of the compass, leaving behind a traffic problem of their own! Just wait for the animals to cross and continue on their way and don't do a u-turn!

  • A lot of people seem to think the animals are pets and are not dangerous! Do not get out of your car at any time or stick your head out of the windows!! You become a target if you do this!!

  • A very basic and seemingly obvious warning is that of remembering where you are and how Kruger National Park is very different from most other national parks. If you suddenly realise that you have left your camera in the boot or trunk, DO NOT GET OUT. Like I say SEEMINGLY obvious however many people do get out. Apart from putting yourself at risk of animal attack you could also receive a hefty fine.

  • On the tar road the speed limit is 50kph and on the dirt roads it is 40kph. I talked to a couple who had gotten caught speeding and penalized with an 800R speeding ticket!

  • Rivers can get flooded in rainy season, so careful of crossing a bridge which may be flooded to prevent your return, if this happens call the number on your entrance booklet.

    vehicles / traffic: Watch your speed!

  • There is a speed limit on all the roads in Kruger Park – 50kph on the tar roads and 30kph on the dirt roads. Adhere to the speed limit – there are speed cops in attendance! (Believe it or not!) Most people tend to speed up as they reach the exit of the park, and that is where you can get caught! Animals are often on the roads so drive carefully. I was devastated one year to see some photographs in the reception of a camp that showed animals that had been hit by cars. It was a dreadful thing to see. It made me all the more cautious to keep to the speed limit and take care when rounding corners or speeding up when on the tar roads...
