What is the difference between the National Parks and the Private Reserves?
The national parks are administered by South African National Parks which ensures a standardised level of accommodation and facilities. Park fees are kept to a minimum to enable as many people as possible to enjoy our wonderful natural heritage. The game watching in the private parks is quite often of an equal standard to that of the national parks, but the accommodation is usually far more luxurious, and the service very attentive. Of course, this level of luxury comes at a price, but the private lodges are a good choice if you would like to be pampered.
