10 reasons to travel with a Wild membership

Explore Southern African parks and save! An All Parks Wild Card is your passport to the diverse parks and reserves of South African National Parks (SANParks), CapeNature, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Msinsi Resorts and Big Game Parks of Swaziland. What are the benefits of joining our programme?

1. Visit more than 80 parks and reserves in Southern Africa

Take advantage of our natural bounty. Whether you want to explore rocky peaks and dramatic gorges or enjoy the tranquillity of remote beaches and rolling grassland, there’s a Wild Card-protected piece of paradise that fits your trip.

2. Contribute to conservation

Our parks are teeming with wildlife and biodiversity. With your membership, you are effectively paying your conservation fees in advance. That’s money the participating organisations count on to carry out their work. Since the pressure from rhino poachers and other wildlife criminals is constantly increasing, your support is vital to preserve our natural heritage.

3. Receive Wild magazine every quarter

Wild is South Africa’s foremost conservation and wildlife magazine. Treat yourself to eye-catching photography and insightful articles on the natural world. It’s your guide to places to stay and things to do in our parks – you’ll never again have to wonder what you’re going to do for the holidays.

4. Become an outdoor adventurer

Calling all active travellers! Have you ever considered mountain-biking through Big Five territory? Or paddling to a secluded forest cabin? There’s no shortage of thrilling activities in our wild places. Try abseiling, climbing, fishing, horse riding, kloofing, off-roading, sailing, trail running, and ziplining.

5. Don’t think twice about popping in for a visit

You have unlimited access to more than 80 parks and reserves. Fancy a quick hike with a friend or some time at the bird hide? How about breaking a car journey with a picnic lunch? The Wild Card offers a year’s unlimited entry to our parks, so you don’t have to give entry fees a second thought.

6. Join a community of Wild travellers

Become a wildlife pilgrim! Wild Card members are passionate about nature and they like nothing better than sharing that passion. Learn more about the natural world at our regular talks, ask and answer questions on social media, and share your best sightings online. Network and collaborate with us to make the most of your time in the wilds.

7. Explore off the beaten path

With a Wild Card, you have access to a variety of wilderness adventures. Game viewing in our flagship parks is always special, but there’s so much more to see and do. Go where only a 4×4 can take you, sleep in a treehouse, see rock art, trek with donkeys, camp wild along the coast, and take a trip back in time.

8. Get a wild fix every month

You love to travel, so we make it easy – even when you’re not in the parks, we keep you up to date with the natural world. The monthly Wild e-newsletter features photo sequences, trip reports, competitions and special offers – everything you need to be transported straight to the wilds. Share your wildlife sightings with us and your pictures may be featured!

9. Create memories to last a lifetime

Take your dream trip with family and friends. Is it the longed-for sighting that suddenly crosses your path? Or the way dawn breaks over the African bush? Or the time you as a clan spend together around the campfire? It doesn’t matter – memories are made like this.

10. Tap into the healing power of nature

Away from the aggravating effects of city noise, traffic jams and deadlines, it’s so much easier to recharge your batteries. Regardless of your activity level, do your health a favour and take regular breaks to our wild places.
