Daily quotas to apply for day visitors to KNP this Easter
Pre-booked day visitors will get preference over non-booked day visitors
South African National Parks (SANParks) would like to remind day visitors to the Kruger National Park (KNP) that daily quotas will once again apply at the entrance gates this Easter weekend.
Visitors are urged to make pre-bookings for their visits prior to their arrival and there are three time slots which they can choose from as follows:.
The times slots below will apply from March 29 to 31:
o Time slot 1: 05:30 to 07:30
o Time slot 2: 07:30 to 09:30
o Time slot 3: 09:30 onwards
The times slots below will apply as from April 1 onwards
o Time slot 1: 06.00 to 08:00
o Time slot 2: 08:00 to 10:00
o Time slot 3: 10:00 onwards
“The three different time slots are aimed at improving the spread of vehicles and, as far as possible, prevent unnecessary waiting periods at gates,” said the KNP’s GM: Communications and Marketing, William Mabasa.
Visitors will be able to book up to 80% of the day visitor quota per gate via SANParks reservations offices and online at www.sanparks.org.
Pre-booked day visitors will get preference over non-booked day visitors at the gate but must ensure that they arrive within their booked time slots. Arriving outside the booked time slot will be regarded as non-booked and therefore will not receive preference and could be turned away. These bookings can be changed as well through SANParks reservations offices if need be.
Visitors are reminded to read the permit which they receive at the gates because all the rules and regulations of the park are clearly stipulated on these documents. “Day visitors may not bring liquor and refrain from committing other infringements such as littering, speeding and alighting from vehicles in places where this is prohibited,” he advised.
