We have a booking in March and received the email yesterday with the closeure information both restaurant and fast food outlest. It works out to about 6 weeks per restaurant.
No date is given for Salati other than saying it will/should be open when The Skukuza restaurant and fast food is closed.
I remember a few years ago when the Skukuza restaurant was closed for redevelopment they had a huge marque in the car park housing a temporary restaurant.
Here is the email
Dear Guest,
As part of our effort to improve customer service in the Kruger National Park, we are in a process of setting up new restaurant operators at several of the camps.
These operators will be franchisees and in order for them to commence operations, it is necessary to do a facelift of the outlets and regrettably, we need to close these facilities for them to be able to do this properly.
Please see the below schedule reflecting the staggered closure of the various restaurants. We apologise for the inconvenience that this will have on your planned visit, and should you wish to amend your booking, we will gladly assist you in doing so. For such requests please
· send email to
reservations@sanparks.org or
· telephone the reservations office at +27(0)12 428 9111.
Please note that the shops will be open as usual.
Restaurants (and fast foods/take-aways) at following camps will be closed on following dates:
Lower Sabie
13 January to 25 February 2014
