SANParks Honorary Rangers are the official South African National Parks (SANParks) volunteer organisation mandated by a
Co-operation Agreement with SANParks. We are a registered public benefit and non-profit organisation. We are a group of passionate volunteers who give freely of our time and skills to support conservation in the South African National Parks. We provide the people of South Africa and our business community the opportunity to support our national parks. We are the SANParks preferred channel for public support towards our national parks. The SANParks Honorary Rangers movement has a long history. Volunteers were active in the Kruger National Park as early as 1902, helping to alleviate the workload of full-time rangers, but we were officially established on 5th May 1964. Today, there are over 2 300 SANParks Honorary Rangers, all volunteers, based in 31 regions around the country and working in 20 of our national parks, such as Kruger, Addo, Table Mountain and Kgalagadi National Parks. Our members are involved on various levels, from assisting at entry gates, raising funds for counter poaching activities, assisting in visitor management, running youth activities and even giving specialist advice on infrastructure and scientific projects. We provided SANParks with more than R100 million in donations and volunteer support over the past financial year and will continue to support our national parks.
