8 of them.

Multiple times.

Mostly Kruger

Also have a bunch of privates in the bag as well.
 
Kruger, Garden Route, Table Mountain. And even though Pilanesberg National Park is apparently not a national park, that one too.

This list is all SANParks, Pilanesberg falls under the NWP&TB (North West Parks and Tourism Board).

Exactly.
Where is Hluhluwe-iMfolozi? iSimangaliso Wetland Park? Madikwe? Dinokeng?
 
Parents...all of them.

Me...None.
Why don’t you go on holiday with them from time to time?

None of those are national parks. They are provincial game reserves.

Pilanesberg is an outlier as it has national park status (which is a higher level conservation status, with more stringent management requirements), but is managed by North West Parks and Tourism instead of SANPARKS

My dad used to fix blood gas machines in most hospitals.

His job took him and my mom all over the country.

Was cheaper to travel via bakkie and take a spares that way instead of sending it via airfreight.

We did travel once with them to East London. He would go to the hospitals from 8 to 5 while we stayed at the tent grounds and going to the beach all day.

Yes I know that now. Pilanesberg advertises itself as a national park which is why I had to google why it's not.
 
I once walked through the park at the top of my road. It was rammed with menial workers drinking tins and wine from the nearby liquor shop. There is also a kiosk type thing pretending to sell homemade brooms but doing bags of weed and other supplements under the counter. The park is also the lookout spot for the ANC guys robbing cars using a signal blocker.
