Operations back to normal after fire at Kruger National Park camp

Operations are back to normal at Kruger National Park after a fire broke out earlier on Tuesday.

The blaze was located at Lower Sabie Rest Camp, damaging the retail shop.

Rangers and staff quickly contained it before it could spread.

The South African National Parks said accommodation is unaffected, and the camp is fully booked for the next two long weekends.

Activities like guided game drives and walks are continuing as normal at the Kruger National Park following Tuesday's fire.

However, guests are advised to stock up on supplies before arriving.

Basic items like wood and ice are also available at nearby camps that were not affected.

Sanparks says the restaurant was not damaged but remains closed due to fire-related power cuts.

Park management says temporary retail, food and beverage services will be set up as soon as possible.

Guests are urged to avoid the affected area while investigations into the cause of the fire continue.
