The Kruger National Park (KNP) is fully prepared to welcome visitors during the festive season.

Lowvelder reports that all security and infrastructure measures are in place to ensure that guests can safely and comfortably enjoy the park’s wildlife.

According to the general manager of commercial operations, Thabo Tlalanyane, more than 60 accommodation units have been upgraded at Skukuza.

Additionally, roads have been repaired and are being monitored continuously, which is crucial during the current rainy season.

“We have also beefed up security within the park to ensure that guests and animals are safe. We have procured 180 vehicles that will assist in the running of the park, including vehicles for protection services, trail drives for tourists, staff buses and open vehicles for visitors and rangers to patrol the park,” he said.

Tlalanyane called on visitors to strictly adhere to the park’s rules, warning that infringements will not be tolerated.

Visitors who are caught blocking roads, hanging out of vehicle windows or driving on prohibited roads will face fines.

Guests planning to stay overnight are reminded to book online before driving to the park, to avoid being turned away at the gates.
