Gate Quotas During The Free Access Week In The Kruger National Park
Some visitors who are eager to participate in the free access week (i.e. SA National Parks Week) had to be turned back at some entrance gates of Kruger National Park due to entry quotas being met.

The quotas are a critical management tool that ensures that the number of people allowed entry at any time remains manageable. In turn, this prevents overcrowding and instead ensures a positive experience for all visitors.
