Events, Filming & Photography

There is an enormous demand locally and internationally for wildlife and landscape photographs and footage for film, television, books, advertising etc. This demand has resulted in national parks under SANParks management being inundated with requests for commercial filming or photography permits.

National Parks are the pride of a country and SANParks has been tasked to manage certain of the country’s natural and cultural heritage. Conservation of these areas and their contents is our primary mandate. Showcasing this country’s natural heritage and beauty to the world is also a consideration, but never at the cost of conservation. As such, SANParks has reviewed its policy and tariffs for filming and photography in National Parks.

Procedure for Permit Applications

As from 4 August 2009, SANParks has instituted the following procedure for applications for permits for filming and photography in National Parks:

  1. All application forms can be downloaded from this website and should be emailed to the address on the application form.
  2. Please go through the tariff document before filling in the application form as once an invoice for the application has been filled out, no amendments can be made.
  3. Once an application has been filled and sent to SANParks, the application will be evaluated to assess the impact of the activity.
  4. Should the application be successful, an invoice will be issued and only after proof of payment has been sent to SANParks, will a permit be issued.

Fees & Application Forms

Please ensure that you read the policy and go through the tariffs thoroughly.
