Bookings for the December 2014 to January 2015 period in various national parks under SANParks’ management opened last week.
SANParks gm:sales and marketing, Bheki Zwane, said the reason for opening both months at the same time was to make it easy to book accommodation and activities well in advance and allow people to plan their itinerary into the new year with just one booking. This is unlike previous years, where they had to book separately for December and January.
Bheki said accommodation bookings in various national parks were always in demand during this peak period. He added that inventory would be made available on a first-come, first-served basis.
According to Bheki visitors will be required to make the first deposit of 50%, 30 days after the booking has been made. The second payment of 50% must be paid 60 days before arrival. Bookings can be done at Central Reservations on 012 428 9111 or by e-mail on reservations@sanparks.org, at park camp receptions or at the SANParks Satellite offices throughout the country. A list of all satellite offices can be obtained here.
