The forms were originally introduced to strengthen verification and governance processes, but their rollout caused operational delays and frustration for visitors.

SanParks says that over the next 12 months, it will implement a fully digitised ID and passport verification system at park gates, using high-speed scanning technology to ensure accurate compliance while improving the visitor experience.

During this transition, gate operations will continue without requiring the indemnity form.
