The park has assured guests that the labour dispute will be resolved as soon as possible.
Security and contingency measures have been put in place to ensure that guests are not inconvenienced, says KNP spokesperson Ike Phaahla.
"Honourary rangers as well as temporary staff are helping us out,” he says.
"We are requesting our tourists to be patient as service might be slow at the gates and at reception, but otherwise everything seems to be going very well.
"The Hospitality Services Managers at various camps will be available at all times to deal with guests requests and to ensure that they have a good experience of the KNP.
"We are urging visitors not to cancel their bookings that have already been confirmed,” says Phaahla.
Gates that might be affected by the strike are Phalaborwa, Numbi, Pretoriuskop, Paul Kruger, Crocodile Bridge and Orpen.
