    As usual an awesome run, didn’t make the 15km cut off this year had flu the week before, but it was still a absolutely lovely 15km. Everything is well organised and goes smoothly if only the park officials would co-operate and help us thru the gates faster.

    Thanks Kruger Park Marathon Club

    Very well organised. Quick entrance at Phabeni Gate. Agree tuffer than expected especially all the hills along the rhino bomas. Finished in 2hrs28min. Admire the guy dressed up as a rhino and running for a cause!

    Great ambiance, good organizing as usual. Went through the gates in no time at all.
    Just love the new route without that long slow poison dog leg but please give us just one decent hill!

    THIS YEAR WAS MY SEVENTH SKUKUZA 21.1 AND I INTEND TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR! A THRILLING, “DIFFERENT” RACE. THE CALL OF THE FISH EAGLE, THE SERENITY OF THE SURROUNDINGS AND THE BEAUTY OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN BUSHVELD TRANSFORM THIS RACE INTO A TRULY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.

    This is one of the best half marathons in the country if not the best. Well organised and oh what an experience. Will definitely do it again next year.

    A true privilege to run in the KNP bush.
    As always the Kruger Park MC, together with their sponsors present a very well organised, enjoyable race every year.
    An appeal to all runners: drink at tables or carry plastic sachets to next table; its the least we can do.
    P.S. I do love to see the expressions on the faces of the tourists who drive past while we run!
