The South African National Parks group manages twenty-one world-class wildlife parks, including three world heritage sites and ten marine protected areas. SANParks is one of the foremost conservation and scientific research bodies in the world and serves the important function of conserving sectors of natural and cultural heritage, as well as aiming to couple conservation with social and economic development in rural areas. SANParks aims to create a world class system of sustainable national parks.
The ecological diversity of SANParks is unparalleled: from savanna and arid semi-desert to coastal areas, forests, and grasslands. The parks feature habitats where multiple varieties of fauna and flora may be found in the same multi-habitat park. We make SANParks reservations for some of the most popular parks that fall under their banner, including the Kruger National Park which is the sprawling home of the Big Five in the North East, as well as the Tsitsikamma National Park – the forested-coastal park in the heart of the Garden Route.
Other famous parks under SANParks' care include a wide array of wildlife and scenery. Parks include, Augrabies National Park, which hosts the thundering waters of the Augrabies Waterfall; the Golden Gate Highlands National Park at the foot of the Maluti Mountain range and the contrasting vegetation of the Addo Elephant National Park - home to more than 450 elephants as well as the Great White Shark and the Southern Right Whale. Various SANParks accommodation spots cater to all kinds of holidaymakers. Those travelling with the whole family can look forward to a wide selection of fun outdoor activities. Adventure-seekers can spot wildlife on game drives, or guided game walks, or go hiking in some of the most exciting trails in South Africa. Those seeking a restful break in the wilderness can take in the astounding beauty of some of the most photographed panoramas in the world.
The accommodations within the parks range from serene tented camps to quaint family cottages and spacious bungalows. Whether it’s the charming Cape Dutch style cottages of the Karoo National Park, or the idyllic forest cabins tucked away in the bucolic woodlands of the Wilderness National Park, we will be able to book you the ideal SANParks venue for your perfect getaway.

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
