Garden Route National Park: Temporary closure of water activities and trails due to heavy rainfall

South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced the temporary suspension of all water-based activities in the Ebb and Flow area of the Wilderness section of the Garden Route National Park, effective immediately until further notice.

The closure comes after recent heavy rainfall, which has caused elevated water levels and created potentially hazardous conditions for visitors. To ensure safety, the following trails and facilities are also temporarily closed:

These precautionary measures are designed to protect visitors and restrict access to areas impacted by high water levels. SANParks has confirmed that all affected activities and facilities will reopen once conditions stabilise and it is safe to do so.

Visitors are encouraged to plan their trips accordingly, respect all safety notices, and check for updates before visiting. SANParks thanks everyone for their understanding and cooperation during this temporary closure.
