South African National Parks (SANParks), is hosting the 15th annual SA National Parks Week from 16 to 20 November 2020. The South African National Parks Week grants South African day visitors free access to most of the National Parks in South Africa, with special emphasis on ensuring that people from local communities close to parks get to know and experience a national park.
