The South African National Parks (SANParks) says some of its parts including the Skukuza Camp are operating partially.

This after recent heavy rains which caused severe floods damaged several camps, roads and bridges in the park in Mpumalanga and Limpopo.

SANParks CEO, Hapiloe Sello, says they need millions of rand to repair the damaged infrastructure.

“We’re estimating over half a billion. We also really have to commend our staff on the ground and just to indicate that we put safety first and our staff was disaster ready and that is why we look back at the physical destruction, but we are also with sadness, however, we’re very proud of the fact that there’s no loss of life and no serious injuries. We have a situation of over 500 staff members that are still cut off. Their well-being is being looked after. We are delivering food parcels to them.”
