Punda Maria Gate inaccessible due to protests
Update: The Punda Maria Gate is accessible again. We have also been assured by SAPS that they will keep monitoring the situation.

Guests are advised to use alternative gates such as Pafuri and Phalaborwa to enter or exit the Park until further notice. The situation is being monitored closely.
