The greater Kruger National Park has been lashed by heavy rains since Friday, with rivers overflowing and roads being cut off by the surging water.
The Kruger National Park Disaster Management teams have had to “remain on alert” in anticipation of more rain, according to a statement issued by SANParks on Tuesday.
Visitors have been advised to be “extra cautious” with the torrential downpours causing bridges to collapse and become inaccessible.It was so sweet how the one giraffe tested the water for its whole tower before they all turned around.
“Since Wednesday last week, we have recorded 245mm rain,” Jansen told News24, adding that much of the downpour had already subsided. “The water did not reach that flood line this year, but it was amazing to see the river transform in such a small space of time – [in around] 48 hours.” At the moment, gravel roads in the south of the Kruger National Park remain closed, while tar roads, except for the main road between Skukuza and Lower Sabie, remain open, according to SANParks.
