Crocodile Bridge sits at the gate of the same name, on the northern bank of the Crocodile River in Kruger’s south-eastern corner. Komatipoort is about 12 km away. From central Gauteng the drive takes 5 to 6 hours via the N4 through Nelspruit, Malelane and Komatipoort, and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport is about 120 km from the gate.
This is one of Kruger’s smaller camps. It has a shop with a small take-away section rather than a full restaurant, a filling station, a laundromat and communal kitchens. There is no ATM.
The Southern Circle around the camp is known for several lion prides and for a large share of the park’s rhino; both rhino species are seen regularly. Giraffe, zebra and antelope are often seen near the gate, cheetah and leopard are recorded regularly, and hyenas patrol the camp fence at night. SANParks offers guided walks and early-morning and late-afternoon game drives from the camp.
Yes, if you want to focus on the far south-east. You enter the park at the camp gate itself, so the safari starts the moment you arrive.
Kruger’s gates and camp gates open and close at set times that change through the year, and you must be inside your camp before it closes. SANParks publishes the current times and notes that they may change without notice; on our safaris, your guide plans each day around them.
