Visitors can enjoy day trips into the Kruger National Park, as well as fishing, elephant back safaris, golf, hiking, horse riding, bird watching and many other activities in and around the town. The clear night sky at Komatipoort offers a view of the starry heavens seldom seen by city dwellers, and it is simple pleasures like this that makes Komatipoort a special place to visit.
