An evacuation operation is under way in the Kruger National Park (KNP) to assist guests, who were staying at Lower Sabie, Talamati, Crocodile Bridge and Biyamiti camps, with available safe passage out of the KNP.
This is due to the heavy and continuous rainfall that the park has experienced since February 8.
The KNP said this is an evacuation route, and no visitors will be able to travel through to those camps. Guests with bookings at the affected ones are advised to amend their dates through the Central Reservations number, 012 428 9111.

Prior to the evacuations, the park’s management gathered all the visitors at the affected camps and addressed as well as updated them on the current situation and developments regarding the floods.
It also delivered supplies to ensure that everyone is taken care of.
In a separate report released by the KNP, it also made mention of a crocodile becoming part of the “evacuation” statistics.
The croc was captured inside the Lower Sabie Rest Camp and returned to Sunset Dam.
