Kruger Camp and Gate Selector
Answer a short set of route questions to receive a conservative gate, camp and sequencing suggestion. The selector works entirely in your browser and makes no booking or wildlife promise.
Official information last checked . Confirm current operational details before travel.
Private in-browser planner
Build a practical starting route
Choose only trip preferences. Nothing is saved or sent, and the result does not check bookings or promise sightings.
Your route suggestion will appear here after you submit the six choices.
Transparent logic
How the recommendation is formed
Nights limit movement
Short trips stay at one base. Central extensions appear only when time and pace support them.
Preferences refine
River, open-country, quiet-camp and service priorities adjust a viable plan; they never override safe arrival logic.
Before booking
Treat the result as a shortlist
The tool cannot see live availability, gate operations, flight delays or road conditions. Open the linked camp and gate guides, then verify changing information directly with SANParks.
If your arrival becomes later than planned, simplify the route or stay outside the park. Do not depend on emergency late admission.
Selector questions
Does the selector make a booking?
No. It uses only the choices made on this page to suggest a conservative route pattern. It sends no personal information and does not check availability.
Does a recommendation guarantee wildlife sightings?
No. The result is based on arrival, pace and landscape preferences. Wildlife is free-ranging and sightings are never guaranteed.
What should I verify after using the selector?
Check accommodation availability, current gate hours, official travel times, road notices and the exact facilities in the booked unit directly with SANParks.
