The South African National Parks (SANParks) has Today announced the postponement of its free access week, which is traditionally held in September.
According to SANParks General Manager Rey Thakhuli, the postponement of the annual event is due to concerns regarding the number of COVID-19 cases across the country.
“The safety of both guests and staff is of utmost priority and we, therefore, have to ensure that we are in a position to effectively implement the COVID-19 visitor management procedures in all our parks at all times,” said Thakhuli.
SA National Parks Week is an annual week-long campaign that provides all South African citizens the opportunity to visit national parks for free.
“The exact dates will be announced shortly. Visit a national park this year for free during SA National Parks Week, to see what it has to offer and do your part by getting to know your national parks #SANationalParksWeek and #LiveYourWild”, concluded Thakhuli.
