Numbi Gate to Skukuza

The high altitudes and good rainfall ensure there are often bird species around Numbi not usually associated with the lowveld – for instance, this is the only place in Kruger where the Red-throated Wryneck has been recorded. Look out also for the Yellow-fronted Tinkerbird, Amethyst Sunbird* and African Cuckoo Hawk. When approaching Numbi just before the gate closes, avoid the the Freckled and Fiery-necked Nightjars along the main road from Pretoriuskop.
