These awards celebrate excellence in service, guest satisfaction, and operational performance, ensuring visitors can expect a smooth, welcoming, and memorable experience.

 The awards are part of SANParks’ ongoing effort to reward staff who go above and beyond in their daily work, from excellent client service to creative problem-solving. Facilities were judged on cleanliness, guest feedback, financial management, and adherence to park policies.

 The timing of these awards follows a strong year for SANParks, which recorded a 10% revenue increase to R4.1-billion and achieved 86% of its operational goals, alongside an unqualified audit confirming sound financial management.

 For travellers, this recognition means more than just a title. Whether it’s the well-managed comfort of Satara, the unique bush experience at Biyamiti, or the efficient entry at Phalaborwa Gate, visitors can enjoy the reassurance of quality, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout their Kruger adventure.
