National Parks and Reserves of South Africa



South Africa has close to 600 national Parks and reserves, collectively boasting spectacular scenery, impressive fauna and flora, excellent facilities and reasonable prices. Many are enclosed within fences, intended to minimise conflict between the animals and their human neighbors.

Yet, due to the vast spaces, you will generally only see the fences when you drive through the park gates - the wildlife itself is satisfying and completely wild. Visiting the parks and reserves will likely be the highlight of your visit. The most famous feature is wildlife, while others are primarily wilderness sanctuaries of hiking areas. When on safari, it is worth remembering that wildlife tourism is one of the main sources of revenue for conservation efforts in South Africa. The money you spend in national parks and reserves in ploughed back into these areas, thus ensuring that future visitors will be able to collect their own unforgettable memories.
