Heavy rainfall in Kruger overnight, some roads closed off
The spokesperson for the park, Isaac Phaahla, said the Crocodile Bridge and Phabeni gates are currently inaccessible.
After the Kruger National Park (KNP) received a large amount of rainfall during the aftermath of Cyclone Eloise, the KNP has again experienced heavy rain overnight.
According to Phaahla, “Pafuri is currently cut off and tourists are advised to avoid going in that direction.
“Crocodile Bridge is flooded and visitors should use Malelane Gate as an alternative. Phabeni is also flooded and visitors should use Numbi or Paul Kruger Gate.”

He said most gravel roads and low-water bridges are being closed off and there should be no attempt to use those routes.

“Disaster management teams are still on high alert and the situation is being monitored constantly. There have not been reports of any casualties yet.
“Ongoing assessments have been hampered by the rising water and will resume once it subsides.”
