South African National Parks (SANParks) today announced that Kruger National Park disaster management teams are on high alert in Nxanatseni (northern part of the park) due to isolated heavy rains which resulted in localised flooding.

The main road between Mopani and Phalaborwa, Punda Maria and Shingwedzi, the Letaba low water bridge on the H14 road close to Phalaborwa, Shimuwini camp access road, were affected and inaccessible late last night. Road teams are on the scene to make proper assessments and recommendations.

Mopani and surrounding areas were most affected while Phalaborwa, Olifants, Letaba did not receive such heavy rains and had not report any road closures.

Tourists who are already in the park, are advised to be extra vigilant, use alternative roads, and get updates from their respective reception areas. They should also observe no entry signs, especially on gravel roads, and are cautioned not to drive across flooded bridges.

An update will be posted after the inspection by the Technical Services Roads team on our SM platforms.
