KNP is the first park in Africa to demolish dams for ecological purposes.

This will also improve river connectivity and natural hydrology in the park, as well as remove barriers within the river system.

The process will affect some tourist routes in the Shingwedzi and Sirheni area as they will be closed off completely for the next two weeks.

The dams to be demolished are Louis se Gat and Kanniedod Dams. SANParks advises tourists in the mentioned areas to respect the no-entry zones and take seriously the necessary instructions that will be given by HSMs.
