Wild Card
A daily conservation fee is charged at all National Parks in South Africa, both for day visitors and visitors booking into accommodation in the parks. Should you plan an extended stay within the National Parks it may be cheaper to obtain a Wild Card. The Wild Card is valid for 1 year from the date of purchase and allows access to all SANParks, Cape Nature provincial parks (Western Cape), Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife provincial parks (KwaZulu-Natal), Msinsi private parks and some big game parks in Swaziland without having to pay the daily conservation fee.
