The Kruger National Park has received an abundance of rain over the previous few days, causing many parts of the park to flood. Northern parts of the park in particular have been heavily affected by the rain. SANParks management have called for visitors to be extra cautious and to avoid all gravel roads until further notice.https://www.instagram.com/p/B8bpP3fqeRU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
