Orpen Gate is a convenient entry point to the central region of Kruger National Park, located near the peaceful Orpen Rest Camp. As you approach the gate, you might spot some wildlife along the boundaries of private game reserves. The gate has a unique design with thatched huts and wooden poles. It's a great starting point for exploring nearby rest camps like Balule, Olifants, and Satara, offering a variety of accommodation options. Plus, it's only a short drive from Johannesburg, making it an ideal spot to kick off your safari adventure in South Africa!
