SANParks has noted with concern the abuse of technology mostly by some independent Open Safari Vehicle guides to communicate sightings to each other and speed to those sightings. This is causing congestion and could lead to unnecessary confrontations with other tourists. Speeding is a big problem and we have seen terrible incidents in the past year which could have been avoided. Animals have the right of way anywhere in the park and drivers need to be extra cautious in the bush. Our officials can't be everywhere to do law enforcement and we implore members of the public who notice any wrongdoing, to report it to our nearest gate or official with clear details for SANParks to follow up.

Please plan your trip carefully considering closing times and distance so as to arrive alive and in time. Fines will be administered to those arriving late for exit or entry.

Drivers and tourists should be held accountable for their actions. Kindly go through the guidance on your entry permit to enjoy your holiday. Those who have been behaving, thank you for making our task easy. If you are counted among the rule breakers, be careful because the consequences of your actions might catch up with you sooner or later.
