Floods and Damages

Ho ! no !
I hope nothing will happen

I don't think so, nana...Gauteng water goes to Limpopo river and Olifants. Mpumalanga Highveld goes to Crocodile and Olifants. Lowveld rain has been intermittent...don't know about Phalaborwa? So maybe things will be sorted, besides Olifants River.

It should be nearing the end of the rainy season...

The road between Tshokwane and Lower Sabie (H10) is closed.

The Crocodile Bridge Gate is closed due to the flooding of the Crocodile River. Guests are advised to use the alternative route from Lower Sabie to access Crocodile Bridge Camp.

The Wolhuter trail, Bushman trail and the Sweni trail are also all closed due to the rain. Guests booked at these Wilderness trails are advised to contact Hester van den Berg 012 426 5117 / hesther.vandenberg@sanparks.org for changes to bookings.
