Kruger National Park closes some roads following heavy rains

JOHANNESBURG - The Kruger National Park (KNP) has closed some of its gates, owing to heavy rainfall.

This after the Mpumalanga province had to close some main roads between Skukuza and Lower Sabie after they were damaged. 

SANParks spokesperson, Ike Phaahla, warned drivers to be careful when crossing low-lying bridges and observe road closures. 

"KNP disaster management operations have been activated because of the heavy downpours which have led to gravel roads and low bridges being closed as a precautionary measure. To our operators, tourists plus drivers within the park are requested to be patient and extra vigilant during this period."
