Flooding in Mpumalanga: January 2026

You might have heard about the flooding at the end of January in the Northern parts of the Kruger National Park.

The Kruger National Park covers very nearly 20,000 km² (8,000 square miles) of undisturbed savanna, woodland, riverine forest and craggy mountain ranges. To put that into context, it is an area comparable to the size to Wales in the UK, the USA state of New Jersey, or Slovenia in Europe!

The flood damage will have no impact on conference attendees or visitors to Skukuza. Some camps in the northern part of Kruger National Park have been closed (January 2026) and some roads in the park are currently closed, to ensure safety to visitors.
