Heavy rain in parts of Mpumalanga this week has led to the closure of four camps in the Kruger National Park.
“Guests are further advised not to open or travel on roads which have been closed and not to cross low-water bridges as the dangers of being washed away remain high.”“More heavy rain is expected today [Friday]. The teams will continue with assessments of affected camps and roads and updates will be communicated through social media as well as in person to the affected guests,” said KNP spokesperson Ike Phaahla.
“Guests are advised not to take chances and leave camp without checking with management and reception about the status of the roads they plan to travel on. The rain forecast for today [Friday] remains high, caution should be exercised at all times on the roads,” Phaahla said. “Guests who have bookings in the four affected camps can contact those camps directly or central reservations for assistance to adjust their bookings while the camps are inaccessible.
“Guests who need to postpone bookings will be given the option of a date change or credit on their profile to use later.”
