Recovery work at Kruger National Park progressing well: Maynier
Minister David Maynier says the recovery work at the Kruger National Park is progressing well.
The recovery efforts at Kruger National Park are advancing well, according to Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister David Maynier. The minister toured the park in mid-August 2026 to discuss the R950 million repair initiative following disastrous floods in January.
The floods wreaked havoc on the park's roads, lodges and water systems. Maynier emphasized that the focus extends beyond mere repairs to constructing resilient infrastructure. "Significant progress is being made on the infrastructure repairs at Kruger National Park following severe flooding earlier this year. The total damage is estimated at R950 million, and the park's management and contractors are working diligently to restore facilities as quickly as possible," he stated.
Maynier's visit incorporated high-level briefings from the park's management team, emphasizing the ongoing progress in restoring both the physical infrastructure and the park's capacity to withstand future challenges.
