Central Kruger Accommodation

Gates: Orpen, Phalaborwa From JHB: 5.5–6.5 hours' drive via N4 and R40. 1-hour flight to Hoedspruit Eastgate Airport, then 45 min to Orpen Gate. Best: Dry season (May to September) when the short grass makes predator sightings even easier. The open terrain means Central Kruger rewards dry-season visits more dramatically than the south.
