We review the present management policy regarding the tourist carrying capacity of Kruger National Park in the Republic of South Africa. Furthermore, we present a spatial analysis of the pattern of tourist activities in the park, identifying early warning signals of tourist congestion. Lastly, we attempt to establish a sustainable scale for tourism development in the park by using the concept of carrying capacity as a planning tool
