KNP implements quotas due to flood-damaged roads

Quota-based access restrictions to the Kruger Parks will not apply to essential deliveries and airport transfers with proof of a valid flight ticket.

In the interest of visitor safety and effective traffic management, the Kruger National Park (KNP) has implemented a gate quota system today, January 19, due to further damaged caused by overnight rainfall.

According to SANParks spokesperson JP Louw, the quotas will apply at Malelane, Numbi and Paul Kruger gates and will affect all open safari vehicles. Those carrying essential deliveries and airport transfers will not be affected.
