The rescue operation was being run from a control centre inside Kruger’s main
Skukuza camp.
However a doctor who works at the site said the camp itself had been
effectively divided into two after a river burst its banks, causing serious
flooding.
Dr Gary Pieser said medics were flying emergency supplies to guests and
workers in need.
“We are now totally stranded inside the camp – the only way to get in or
out is via helicopter,” he said.
“We have had some calls from tourists who became trapped in their
vehicles in the park, and we’re doing what we can to evacuate them.
“So far we have had no reports of serious injuries, but people have
called requesting supplies such as insulin which we are trying to get to
them.”
