Two alleged "vehicle smugglers" masquerading as holidaymakers' were arrested in the Kruger National Park after they were found in possession of stolen vehicles.
The government last month announced heightened security measures in the province including at the Numbi Gate near Hazyview where a spate of robbery attempts had been reported and where the four tourists were attacked.
An outdoor adventure of camping, game drives, bush walks and close-up Big Five sightings, a trip to Kruger Park is a must for visitors to South Africa.
