8. TRAVELLING TIMES AND TRANSPORT MATTERS
8.1 All private and official trips within a national park, must be undertaken during daylight hours
and permission to travel after-hours will only be given in emergencies, by the Park Manager
or designated person.
8.2 No person (employee or visitor) may transport passengers on the back of an open vehicle
within a national park, unless in the execution of official duties.
9. ROAD RULES AND SPEED LIMITS
9.1 Road Rules
All personnel, whether in an official or private capacity, must ensure that their driving sets an
example to other drivers. Although all people working in a park with the necessary approval,
may drive at a faster speed than the tourists, they must do this as unobtrusively as possible
by approaching another vehicle at a decreased speed, passing it and then accelerating slowly
to the required speed. As soon as an oncoming vehicle is in sight, speed must once again be
decreased until the vehicle is out of sight.
9.2 Speed limit for personnel
All employees of SANParks, as well as employees from outside organizations with written
consent working in a national park, may travel at a maximum speed of 65km/h during the day
and 50km/h at night regardless of the speed limit. These speed limits are applicable to all
official trips and may only be exceeded in emergencies. Personnel and/or their spouses may
also drive at 65km/h during the day, whilst in their private vehicles en route to the entrance
gate closest to their residence. During private trips in the rest of the park, the designated speed
limit has to be adhered to as well as in all the rest camps and personnel villages.
Please take note that all transgressors of this privilege will be prosecuted in the same way as
tourists who disregard the speed limit.
10. CONTROL AT ENTRANCE AND RESTCAMP GATES
When entering or leaving an entrance gate of a national park, you must identify yourself to the
tourist officer in charge. No one may leave a rest camp after hours unless the Park Manager or
designated person has granted permission and any one arriving after hours at a rest camp must
report to the Park Manager or designated person.
11. ENTRANCE TO NO-ENTRY ROADS
Fire-break and patrol roads
Please take note that no one may drive along a fire-break or patrol road with a no-entry sign in
their private capacity or along any road which has been closed in any way. Only the Park
Manager or designated person may give permission to do so. When a fire-break or patrol road
has to be used officially the Park Manager or designated person must preferable be given prior
notice of the date and the route. If it is not possible to notify him, it must be done immediately on
completion of the trip.
12. GUEST PRIVILEGES
Arrangements regarding guests must be made by the site supervisor with the Park Manager or
designated person.
Only immediate family members (parents and children) will be allowed free access to a national
park with the permission of the Park Manager or designated person.
