Pensioners Discount

Policy on Concessions for South African National Social Pensioners and all Permanent Residents of South Africa - 60 Years and older.

SANParks offers discounts on normal tariffs to the above persons provided the reservation is made in the name of the qualifying person. Social pensioners are those receiving old age, family and disability allowances as well as blind persons.

Concessions are not available on Friday and Saturday nights, nor any long weekends (if a weekend is preceded by a public holiday falling on a Thursday or Friday, or followed by a public holiday falling on a Monday or Tuesday it will be recognised as a long weekend and not qualify for discount. This also includes the Sunday of that particular weekend). This applies for all National Parks.

**Tariffs and concessions are subject to alteration without advance notice.**
