South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that Kruger National Park will be going cash free as from 01 December 2023 at five of its entrance gates found in the southern part of the National Park as well as fuel stations. This is part of a broader cash free digital drive, which SANParks introduced in 2021 to improve customer convenience and reduce contact time at entry points especially during peak times. The cash free payment system in Kruger National Park will be implemented in a two-phased approach at some facilities, while the remaining gates and camps will go online in early 2024.
"The benefit of implementing a cash free payment system is meant to reduce queues further and impact the time it takes to get into a park. The aim is also to reduce the risks associated with handling cash. We therefore would like to encourage clients to make use of either the online pre-booking payment systems which offers a no hassle of having to transact on arrival or speed point payment systems at the gates", said the Kruger National Park Managing Executive, Oscar Mthimkhulu.The entrance gates to Kruger National Park which will be launching the cash free payment methods on 01 December 2023 are:
- Paul Kruger Gate
- Phabeni Gate
- Numbi Gate
- Malelane Gate
- Crocodile Bridge Gate
The fuel station in the Skukuza Rest Camp will also be launching the cash free payment methods on 01 December 2023.
