  • The Kruger National Park is always an amazing experience. This was the first time that we saw lions and it was awesome. Phalaborwa gate is nice, but the bathrooms need some attention.
  • Friendly staff and very informative 👍🏼. The guards are very friendly people even though at first you'd be very reluctant to approach them but once you do approach them and in good terms, they are very friendly just don't do things you weren't supposed to do. This gate is also very clean and well maintained.
