Paul Kruger Gate Protests

Post by Richprins »

28 June 2018

Guests of Kruger National Park are informed that Paul Kruger Gate is inaccessible due to protests taking place at communities outside the gate (approximately 20 km away from the Park) on the R536, today, 28 June 2018 and is blocked at the moment.

Guests are advised to, for now, use alternative gates such as Phabeni (which is about 10 km away from Hazyview on the R536) to enter or exit the Park until further notice. The situation is being monitored closely.

I checked a bit. The gate access is still blocked, but access to Cork is open and Private Reserve gate access is via Ronaldsea!
