Most tourists have been forced to deviate from the original route, with KNP communications and marketing manager Isaac Phaahla saying protests have affected the park’s staff, guests and delivery trucks which usually use the Paul Kruger gate to gain access to the park.Luckily, no pre-bookings have been cancelled yet.
Local tour guide Rofus Makwela told the publication the company he works for usually transfers guests from Skukuza airport to nearby lodges using the Paul Kruger gate. Others had to spend additional money to reach to them, and some guests were even harassed by protesters. “Our members who are doing transfers to the nearest lodges had to pay double to use the KNP route to get to the private reserves, with international tourists paying extra just to reach their destinations.
