Top Parks in South Africa

Don't forget to pack snacks and plenty of water. The food options are limited and can be pricy in the park, so bringing your own stuff is a good way to save a few rand.

Plan your visits around the morning or late afternoon, like around 9 AM or after 4 PM. The light is just stunning for photos and you’ll likely spot more wildlife, plus it’s cooler too!

I recommend getting to the park around 7 AM. The early morning is the best time to spot the elephants and other wildlife before it gets too hot and crowded.

I recommend checking out the small local market if it’s on, especially on Sundays. You’ll find unique crafts and yummy food, which makes for a nice way to spend some time

Check the weather before you go. It can change quickly and having an umbrella or a light jacket can save you from a soggy experience. I learned that the hard way!

I suggest bringing a picnic! The park is so beautiful and it’s a great way to relax after a hike. There are some nice spots to chill, plus it’ll save you some money on food.
