Damage from severe floods in Kruger National Park will take years to repair and cost millions of dollars, the environment minister said on Thursday.
Authorities temporarily closed the park last week after several rivers that run through it burst their banks as a result of heavy rains.
Fifteen tourist camps are still closed, with some completely inaccessible, said forestry, fisheries and the environment minister Willie Aucamp. Hundreds of people had been evacuated, and no lives were lost.
