Drive from Hazyview to Kruger National Park – Paul Kruger Gate

The drive from Hazyview to Paul Kruger Gate takes 40 minutes and 42 kilometres via the R536, bringing you straight into Big Five territory. This iconic entrance, named after former president Paul Kruger, lies along the hippo- and croc-rich Sabie River and is the closest gate to Skukuza. Upon entering, you’ll receive a map with well-signposted game drive routes and rest camps worth stopping for – you often get useful tips from fellow travellers there about the whereabouts of the animals. The H11 towards Skukuza is a good start to your safari adventure. The area has a high concentration of big cats and is known for high predator activity. Take it slow, as this road often delivers exciting sightings in the thickets near the river.
