SANParks has included a new feature in its online bookings portal and pre-bookings for day visitors are now available.
Previously, advanced day visitor bookings could only be done for the Kruger National Park by contacting the reservations office.
According to Acting Head of Communications, Reynold Thakhuli, SANParks is continually developing ways to make guests’ booking experience easier. “This is the latest addition to our ever-evolving world of online bookings.”
The new function will enable online users to pre-book their day visitor park permits in a variety of time slots and for several days at a time. “This will alleviate waiting in the queue at park gates and ensure that guests will not be impacted or inconvenienced by the gate permit quotas.”
The new online feature will aid in securing your spot in the Kruger during busy periods such as Easter, school holidays and the festive season, offering peace of mind that your entry as a day visitor to the Kruger is guaranteed.
Specific timeslots include
- Entry from gate opening time (depending on the season) to two hours after the gate has opened
- Two to four hours from the gate opening time
- Four plus hours from the gate opening time
How do I prebook advanced day visitor entry to Kgalagadi NP as I am coming from the UK in February 2018 , having hired a 4×4 and accommodation for 8 nights at Kgalagadi Lodge only to find out a 20 vehicle only day visitor quota? The SAN parks website currently only allows this for the Kruger despite saying they now will take bookings for other parks. Try booking them! The website will not allow it.
BOOKING FOR DAY VISIT ON THE 23.12.2017 ENTRANCE GATE IS KRUGER GATE AND EXIT ON THE MALELANE GATE SAME DAY

Hi, I intend to visit the Kgalagadi Park in the near future as a day visitor. As there is a limit of 20 vehicles a day is it possible to make a reservation for (a )certain day(s) online?
