South African National Parks (SANParks) has informed the public that the road from Hazyview to Kruger National Park's Paul Kruger Gate (R536) has been blocked at Mkhuhlu by the traffic lights. The community blocked the road due to service delivery disputes.
However, last time a road leading to Paul Kruger Gate was blocked, SANParks advised travellers to use alternative gates such as Phabeni Gate to exit and enter Kruger National Park, until such time an update is available. We'll keep you posted!
