Due to the Covid-19 3rd wave the SA National Parks Week was postponed from September, which is Heritage Month in South Africa, to November 2021.
From 22nd to 28th of November 2021 free access will be granted to South African day visitors.
SANParks Acting Chief Executive Officer, Dumisani Dlamini: “This is also an effort to reach out and allow all citizens a chance to freely access something they might not have been exposed to and to start to understand the importance of conservation.” The free access to the parks does not include accommodation or any commercial activities in the park. Kruger, Addo Elephant, Augrabies, Agulhas, Table Mountain and the Tsitsikamma section of Garden Route National Park will only have free access until Friday 26 November.
Dlamini said that due to the country still being on Alert Level 1 of the lockdown in November “we would like to remind the public that a quota system will apply in most of our national parks throughout the focus week. We have to remain responsible and alert and therefore would like to request the public to continue to observe the COVID 19 protocols, which are sanitising, wearing of our face masks and observing social distancing.”
