The following gravel roads have now been opened after repair work was done by the technical services team: S140,S106, S36 to S145.
The gravel roads in the Tshokwane area are also open, except for road S33, due to causeway water that’s too high for low clearance vehicles.
The Sand and Sabie low bridges are also clear.

MEDIA RELEASE
UPDATE ON KRUGER NATIONAL PARK ROADS
Kruger National Park (KNP) Management has received a report from the roads and Technical Services department, on the state of the roads that were closed off, due to heavy rain.
The team has opened most of the gravel roads as the weather condition has improved. The main road between Skukuza and Lower Sabie was partly washed away; therefore, Lower Sabie can be accessed via Tshokwane (H10) if coming from Skukuza. In Tshokwane, all gravel roads have been opened except S33 as the water along the causeway is still high and will only be opened once the water has subsided. Sand and Sabie Low level bridges have been cleared of debris and are passable. The road between Skukuza and Satara is also open.
Talamati Bush Camp, which was closed off, will only receive guests from today, 17 January 2025. Balule Camp is at this stage only accessible via the Olifants River highwater bridge, from the south. The Olifants River low-water bridge is still inaccessible. All other Bushveld Camps are accessible.
