Kruger Park Rebuilds After Flood | Johannesburg News

When Kruger National Park flooded in January, Letaba Rest Camp was nearly swallowed by water—only rooftops peeked above the waves. Camp manager Mpho Mudau heroically evacuated 15 guests in under an hour, proving people always come first. With damage totaling nearly R950 million, SANParks is rebuilding smarter—with climate-resilient roads, bridges, and structures. Five phases are underway, and Letaba’s cottages and staff housing are already restored and open. The big win? The reopening of the Letaba High-Level Bridge, reconnecting park zones and restoring visitor access. It’s a powerful symbol of resilience—and hope—for the park’s return to full operation before the holiday rush. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
