Recent heavy rainfall has significantly affected Kruger National Park, prompting the temporary closure of several dirt roads within the park.
According to the South African National Parks (SANParks), the areas most impacted include Satara, Kingfisherspruit, and Lower Sabie. Furthermore, the S60 gravel road leading to Pafuri, along with Crooks Corner road and other associated gravel routes, will remain closed until further notice.
