Tourism businesses in Mpumalanga and Limpopo are starting to take stock of the significant infrastructure damage and interruptions caused by heavy flooding in the region.
Only three Kruger National Park KNP entrance gates Malelane, Numbi and Paul Kruger are currently open to visitors. The park reopened to day visitors on Monday, January 19, but a quota system has been implemented to limit the number of tourists entering the open gates.
SANParks Head of Communications JP Louw said, although the flood waters are subsiding, numerous bridges have been washed away and there is no access to the Crocodile Bridge, Lower Sabie and Olifants rest camps. The northern part of the park also remains inaccessible.
