The South African National Parks (SANParks) on Thursday announced that owing to heavy rains some roads at Kruger National Park (KNP) have been closed.
“Due to heavy rains in and around the southern part of KNP several roads have been closed,” SANParks said in a terse communique.
SANParks also advised guests to not to use any gravel roads and to stay on the tar.
“Guests are further advised not to open or travel on any roads which have been closed and not to cross any low water bridges as the dangers of being washed away are high,” SANParks said.
“Visitors cannot access the Crocodile Bridge Gate and the Malelane Gate due to the flooding of the Crocodile River and several other bridges are currently overflowing.
“The rain forecast for today remains high, caution should be exercised at all times on the roads.”
SANParks said it will post updates on the “SANParks – Kruger National Park Facebook Group”.
“Guests that need to postpone their booking within the duration of the floods will be given the option of an immediate date change or credit on their profile to use at a later date,” said SANParks.
“For tourist enquiries please contact each camp directly or KNP Admin Offices at 013 735 4000.”
