Kruger National Park: SANParks to enforce visitor access management during June/July holidays!

South African National Parks (SANParks) is set to enforce the visitor access management for day visitors in the Kruger National Park during coming June/July holidays (24 June 2016 - 17 July 2016). Through the visitor access management SANParks aims to better manage the expected volumes of visitors, as well as to improve the visitors' expectations. SANParks has introduced three time slots, of which day visitos are able to choose from. It is advised to book a time slot prior to arrival, as pre-booked day visitors will get preference over non-booked day visitors at Kruger National Park's entrance gates.

• Time slot 1: 06:00 to 08:00
• Time slot 2: 08:00 to 10:00
• Time slot 3: 10:00 onwards

Pre-booked day visitors must ensure that they arrive within the time slots, as per their reservation. Arriving outside the booked time slot, will be regarded as non-booked and therefore not preferential. These bookings can be changed through SANParks Reservations offices.

Visitors should also take note of the following important information:

• Day Visitor bookings are subject to a non-refundable booking fee of R36 per adult and R18 per child.
• Day visitors who have booked will still be required to pay Conservation Fees or use a valid Wild Card to enter the Kruger National Park.
• In order to expedite the admission process, on busy days in particular, day visitors are requested to pay for conservation fees in advance or ensure that they have valid Wild Card membership.
• Guests planning to use Wild Cards are requested to ensure membership is valid before arrival and this can best be done online at www.sanparks.org/wild
• The number and profile of persons (adults and children) on the reservation and actual persons arriving should correspond.
• All guests may be required to identify themselves upon admission (SA driver’s license, identity document or passport).
• Due to existing contractual arrangements with Open Safari Vehicles (OSVs), they are regarded as booked for all Day Visitor admissions.
• Gate Quotas will be applied and un-booked guests could be denied entry.
