ID & documentation required

Day visitors, capacity limits & busy periods

• Day visitors are welcome, but SANParks enforces a daily visitor threshold. On very busy days (public holidays, long weekends, festive season) access may be restricted to pre-booked overnight guests once the threshold is met. If you plan a day visit during peak times, pre-booking or arriving early is advised. (SANParks)
