- Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has temporarily closed down its Hilltop Resort because a manager tested positive for Covid-19.
- Guests who have bookings at the resort will be allowed to self-isolate in the resort, but certain conditions are applicable.
- People who have bookings affected by the closure will be transferred to other resorts.
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife's Hilltop Resort in KwaZulu-Natal shut its doors when one of its managers tested positive for Covid-19.
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife spokesperson Musa Mntambo said:
"The resort will probably open on Thursday, 7 January 2021," Mntambo said on Sunday.
The resort is situated within the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park.
Guests have been informed and will be allowed to self-isolate in the resort if they agree to cook for themselves and do their own housekeeping.
Those who have bookings during the affected dates will be asked to transfer their bookings to Mpila Resort, which is also within the park, or Mantuma Resort at Mkhuze Game Reserve.
"They will also be allowed to choose any other Ezemvelo resorts should they prefer not to transfer to either of the two resorts indicated above. Ezemvelo will also be amenable to requests [for a] rebooking to a different future date, or refunds."
