“Tour operators, tourists, plus drivers within the Park are requested to be patient and extra vigilant during this period. No entry signs have been placed across roads which are not drivable and must not be removed. We are grateful that no casualties have been reported thus far and urge visitors to check with reception on the latest information regarding road closures.
