Save money with the SAN Parks Wild Card
If you are lucky enough to have a reasonable period to tour around South Africa, and are planning to visit several of the national parks, you could potentially save yourself lots of money by investing in a Wild Card.The Wild Card gives you unlimited access to national parks for a year. Local residents can buy Wild Cards for a 'cluster' of parks in a particular region (for example, the Bushveld or the Cape clusters), which is cheaper, but to be eligible for this, you need to be able to provide proof of residence. For international tourists, the only option available is for all the parks.At the time of writing (June 2010), the cost of an international Wild Card was:R1065 per personR1850 per coupleR2495 per family (regardless of number of children)If you tally up the entrance fees for the parks that you're planning to visit, you will find that it's easy to exceed the cost of the Wild Card...
