If you’re a nature lover, mark your calendars! South Africa is rolling out the red carpet for visitors with its annual SANParks Week, running from September 22 to 28.

During this week, South African National Parks (SANParks) encourages communities to connect with the breathtaking landscapes and diverse ecosystems that define the country.
