If you are yearning to experience nature and the wild in all their glory, you are in luck. 

South African National Parks (SANParks) 14th annual SA National Parks Week will take place from September 8 to 15, 2019 - and entrance is free. 

SANParks Chief Executive Officer, Fundisile Mketeni, said in a statement that since the project’s inception in 2006, around 438 361 South Africans visited the park. 

Mketeni said visiting these national parks were important as they provided spaces to practice sustainable conservation and empowered communities living adjacent to parks through job creation.

He said all of the parks are eligible for free entrance, except for  Namaqua National Park and Boulders section and Aerial Cableway in Table Mountain National Park. 

Travellers will need to be a South African citizen and bring along their valid South African ID. The free entrance is for day visitors and excludes activities. 

These are the parks you can visit:
