Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism, in conjunction with the South African National Parks (SANParks) has launched four satellite reservation offices in Nelson Mandela Bay during September. The official launch of the offices was held on 26 September 2007, to commemorate National Tourism Month and as a curtain raiser to World Tourism Day celebrations, on 27 September. The SANParks reservation offices are located within the Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism Information Centres - at the Boardwalk, Donkin and Uitenhage, as well as the Call Centre at the NMBT office in South End. The offices are a first for the Eastern Cape and offer a one-stop source of information & accommodation bookings port for all South African National Parks, as well as a purchasing point for the SANParks wildcard, which entitles the bearer to free access at all SANParks. The one stop booking offices offer a more convenient service to the public, as well as offer a faster and more personal service by alleviating the hassle of having to go through the SANParks central reservation call centre in Pretoria or going to the actual parks before one can purchase a wildcard.
