Sabi Sand Wildtuin Entrance Fee
Fee effective from 2018: R280 vehicle entrance and R120 per passenger (subject to change). Debit and Credit Card (Visa and Mastercard) facilities are available at Newington Gate.
The entrance fee helps ensure this rare conservation area can be preserved in its current form. Some of the current core projects which receive a proportion of this fee include:
• A substantial investment by the Sabi Sand Wildtuin into improving its security operations in the immediate term to combat the unprecedented (and rising) level of rhino poaching. Security in general will also be enhanced on the reserve
• The improvement and maintenance of the reserve’s perimeter fence to minimise potential for human-wildlife conflict
