Park & Ride
Hop in and ride – it’s as simple as that!
Guests at Kruger now have the opportunity to make use of the “Park & Ride Scheme” where you can get to see the Big 5 and contribute to local empowerment.
The “Community Drive Project” is a joint venture between SANParks and Vuswa Fleet Services. It is an initiative to empower people on the periphery of the Park.
Activity
- Park & Ride currently operates from Numbi, Phabeni and Kruger gates.
- There are 4 vehicles for the southern side of the Park.
- The duration of drive is 4 hours:
