Day 2 - 4

Drive from Mbombela (Nelspruit) to Kruger National Park, Malelane gate

From Mbombela (or Nelspruit), it’s just 66 kilometres or a one-hour drive along the N4 to reach Kruger’s Malelane Gate. This southern entrance is one of the busier gates to the park, which means there might be a bit of a jam going in. It leads to the heart of the original reserve (established in 1902 to protect wildlife), and when entering, you’ll receive a map with clearly signposted routes leading to rest camps and top game viewing spots. Make sure to chat with fellow travellers at stops â€“ they often know where the action is. Now choose your route and enjoy the ride!

Day 5

Drive from Kruger National Park to Johannesburg

Your Kruger safari has come to an end! After three thrilling days of wildlife sightings, it’s time to head back to O.R. Tambo International Airport â€“ a 5-hour drive (excluding stops) or 430 kilometres from Paul Kruger Gate via the N4 and N12 highways. In need of coffee halfway through? Make a well-deserved pitstop at Alzu Petroport, just past Middelburg on the N4, where you can enjoy a barista special or a hearty meal while watching buffalo and rhino roam just metres away. It’s the perfect place to stretch your legs, refuel (literally!), and take in one last bit of bush magic. From there, it's a smooth 175 kilometres to the airport. Cherish the memories and safe travels home!
