Safari operators think the Park belongs to them. They are very eager to give their customers a glimpse of one of the big five hoping to get that big $$$ tip? This is a common complaint in Kruger National Park, where visitors driving on their own feel shorthanded by the big safari vehicles.
OSV (Open Safari Vehicles) Operators Vows To Follow The Rules:
• Always honour and respect the rights of all visitors and wildlife in the Kruger National Park.
• Always respect all speed limits at all times.
• Respect the rights of all parties to see rare sightings of all game and will not obscure the view.
• Treat all fellow visitors with respect and will be grateful that they are visiting our beautiful country.
• Speak to all people with humility and good manners.
• Will drive with dignity and be recognised for good behaviour on the roads.
• Will be a credit to our company without exception;
• Become the benchmark for responsible guiding in this country.
Visitors must obey the Rules of Kruger National Park:
• Visitors must remain in their vehicles unless in a designated area.
Remember that no part of the body may protrude from a window or sunroof or any other part of the vehicle. Vehicle doors should be closed at all times.
• Stick to the speed limit! All general rules of the road apply within the Kruger National Park. The speed limit is 50 km/h on tar roads and 40 km/h on gravel roads. Please note that not all roads are accessible to caravans.
• Look at the gate times in your green gate permit. You must be inside the camp or out of the gate before these times. No travelling before or after these times are allowed. Gate times must be strictly adhered to and late comers may be subject to a fine.
• You are not allowed to drive “off-road” or on roads with a “no entry” sign.
• The feeding or disturbing of animals is a serious offence. Remember, animals see litter as food!
