From R44 to R134: What SANParks 2025/26 fees really cost a family of four
New data comparing SANParks' 2025/26 conservation fees shows a R90 gap between the cheapest and priciest adult entry and R270 for a family of four. Here's the full breakdown.
Kruger National Park leads the list of SANParks' 2025/26 resident adult entry fees with R134 per day, while Cape Town green spaces charge as little as R44. This R90 gap between the two ends of the spectrum can quickly expand for families, with a Kruger day visit for two adults and two children costing a minimum of R402. In contrast, the same family visiting one of the R44 parks would only pay R132.
The Western Cape dominates the lower end, with Table Mountain National Park's satellite sections costing only R44 per adult and R22 per child. Seasonal variations, like West Coast National Park's higher fee during flower season, are not included in these rankings.
