Nelspruit is close to Kruger National Park enter the park at the Malelane Gate. Make plans to stay in the park well in advance because most of the accommodation in the park is booked out, and to further put a squeeze on things be warned the park gates are locked at 6pm. You can travel 72 km to the Paul Kruger exit gate, or spend the night at Skakuzu or Satara depending on what time you arrive. Its NB you check the gate traveling times.


Avis does not allow car rentals to cross the Zimbabwe border. The quickest way to Pietersburg is along the R37 but this is absolutely not recommended as it is through a resettlement area. A Train is the best way to get there, then a bus. Do a lot of research before taking this journey. Everybody goes to Zambia these days instead of Zim to see the falls.

Hi Ming
Thanks for the heads up, not sure if driving to Vic falls is the best option. May have to replan.
