Temporary Closure of Skukuza Main Gate

Essential Maintenance and Alternative Entrance Routes

The Skukuza Rest Camp Main Gate in the Kruger National Park will be temporarily closed from Monday, 2 November 2026 until Friday, 4 December 2026. This temporary closure allows for essential maintenance and repairs to the gate’s roof structure. A temporary camp entrance will operate from Hippo Circle Street (the road heading to the Skukuza Medical Doctor/Surgery), directing traffic through AM Spa and Skukuza Safari Lodge.

Visitors should follow directional signage and instructions from park staff to maintain safe, efficient vehicle and pedestrian movement. This planned maintenance forms part of SANParks‘ ongoing infrastructure management programme, ensuring facility safety, functionality, and longevity across the park. SANParks apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the patience of visitors, staff, and tourism partners during these improvements. Work is scheduled for completion by 4 December 2026, subject to weather conditions and unforeseen delays.
