The Garden Route National Park is facing significant disruptions due to relentless rainfall, following a recent Orange Level 8 warning issued by the South African Weather Service, reports.
Nature's Valley Camp in the Tsitsikamma Section has been temporarily closed, with all guests safely evacuated as the camp becomes increasingly susceptible to flooding.
One notable change in the area has seen the Groot River Mouth naturally opening, allowing water to flow out of the camp and providing some relief from the swelling waters.
While the situation at Nature's Valley is developing, the Knysna Section is also under strain, with the Thesen Island Office shuttered due to fierce winds and heavy rain. Recent flooding has caused primary damage to the front office structure, raising concern among park officials and visitors alike.
