flag Anthrax outbreaks in Kruger National Park’s north affect kudu and buffalo, but pose no risk to tourists due to strict safety protocols.

flag Anthrax cases have been confirmed in Kruger National Park, primarily affecting kudu and buffalo in the northern region, but South African National Parks says the situation is normal for the area and poses no risk to tourists. flag The disease, caused by bacteria in the soil, is endemic and part of the natural ecosystem cycle, with outbreaks typically occurring during dry winter months. flag Transmission requires direct contact with infected animals or carcasses and does not spread through the air. flag SANParks emphasizes that guided activities and vehicle-based tourism remain safe, with strict protocols in place, including rapid removal and destruction of carcasses to prevent spore spread. flag Outbreaks are expected to subside with summer rains. flag The park stresses that the disease does not threaten biodiversity and encourages visitors to avoid dead animals and stay within designated areas.
