For bush enthusiasts, South African National Parks (SANParks) will once again be allowing South African citizens to enter most of their parks for free for a week
Reynold Thakhuli of SANParks said they are currently looking at the perfect date to host the event.
The free access week normally takes place in September but was postponed to November last year due to the Covid-19 alert level 2 regulations.
It seems this will happen again this year.
"It most probably will take place in November, but no dates have been finalised," Thakhuli told IOL Travel.
Every year, SANParks aims to increase the number of travellers granted free access to national parks during the free week.
The free access to parks does not include free accommodation or access to other tourist activities
