Why this gateway?
It provides a clear arrival and departure point without presenting the city itself as a wildlife destination.
When to go
Allow for city traffic, changing weather, and park gate times when planning a same-day connection.
Getting there
SANParks advises using the N2 toward Colchester for Matyholweni Gate, or continuing through the N10 and Paterson for Main Camp, rather than approaching on the R335 through Motherwell.
Typical visit
An arrival, preparation, or recovery stop before or after the Addo circuit.
