. 6. APPLICATION OF THE FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY 6.1 Where material is taken by individuals for private use and personal enjoyment, such as tourists/members of the public taking photographs or videos, SANParks cedes the rights to such material.
6.2 However if the material is secured professionally or by amateurs within a National Park for use or with the intention for use for commercial or broadcast purposes or for resale, marketing, advertising, the film producers (local & international) will be charged a location fee, as well as a fee for any other services, resources or special concessions required of SANParks.
