Kruger National Park Road maintenance project makes good progress

The South African National Parks (SANParks) has noted the significant progress made by the Kruger National Park (KNP) in repairing and maintaining its roads.

In its 100 days road maintenance report, KNP has outlined the work done thus far.

“It details progress in the blading of gravel roads in KNP as part of the overall ongoing infrastructure and maintenance programme. This intervention also sought to ensure preparedness for the 2024 festive season so as to enhance customer experience as tourists are expected to visit in numbers during this period.

“Most roads in the south of Olifants River (Marula Region of the park) were bladed between July and October 2024 and are constantly being monitored to ensure they remain in good condition,” SANParks said on Friday.

The repairs and maintenance included roads leading to many of the bush camps in the south of the national park.

Repairs are ongoing with focus now directed at the northern side of the Olifants River (Nxanatseni Region of KNP) where considerable progress has been made.

Road repairs are prioritised based on the extent of usage by park visitors. Therefore, roads which are mostly utilised are given priority attention. –SAnews.gov.za
