KwaZulu Natal: Mahala Fridays - free entry to KZN's wildlife parks for South Africans!
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, the governmental organisation responsible for maintaining wildlife conservation areas and biodiversity in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal Province, has launched the "Mahala Fridays" initiative. During September 2016, the first 100 South Africans (don't forget your ID) to enter each of Ezemvelo's game reserves, except for the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, have free access. Ezemvelo also encourages schools (school groups) to visit the reserves in KwaZulu-Natal for free (including game drives) during 17-24 September 2016.
Travellers should keep "Mahala Fridays" mind when visiting Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park, Natal Drakensberg Park, Tembe Elephant Park, uMkhuze Game Reserve, Oribi Gorge, Ithala Game Reserve or Royal Natal National Park during September 2016 - the parks might be a bit crowded!
