IOL reports that SA National Parks (SANParks), the body responsible for the upkeep of parks, including the Kruger National Park (KNP), has announced that park management has temporarily closed some remote camps and evacuated staff to nearer, safer camps following flooding in Mpumalanga.
The decision comes as parts of the KNP are expected to receive more rain in the coming week, and the temporary closure of camps is effective until the situation improves. KNP managing executive, Oscar Mthimkhulu, said gravel roads and remote camps had been temporarily closed, including those used to evacuate guests from Lower Sabie, Biyamiti and Crocodile Bridge out of the KNP on Sunday as a precautionary measure. “Closures are necessary to ensure everybody’s safety during this time and we would like to advise guests to stick to the tar roads while driving inside the park. A disaster management team is in motion and periodical updates will be released until the situation improves,” said Mthimkhulu.
