South African National Parks — SANParks was formed in 1926 as the National Parks Board, but the current name 'South African National Parks' (SANParks) was adopted later, in 1996. The entry implies the name and body were established in 1926, which conflates the original entity with the renam
South African National Parks — The total area of 44,595 km² is outdated or incorrect; as of official SANParks data, the combined area of all national parks is approximately 37,000 km² (excluding marine protected areas). The figure of 44,595 km² may include marine protected areas or be from
ǀAi-ǀAis/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park — The park was formed in 2003, but the ǀAi-ǀAis Hot Springs Game Park was established in Namibia in 1968, and the Richtersveld National Park was established in South Africa in 1991; the transfrontier park was formally created by a treaty signed on 1 August 2003,
ǀAi-ǀAis/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park — The area listed as 5,920 square kilometres is incorrect; the actual area of the ǀAi-ǀAis/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park is approximately 6,045 square kilometres.
Bontebok National Park — The park is not the smallest of South Africa's 19 National Parks; South Africa has more than 19 national parks.

Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area — The entry claims the area covers 4,872 km², but this figure is often cited as the South African component alone, not the entire TFCA, leading to a factual inconsistency.
Karoo National Park — The park covers 750 square kilometres, but the actual area of Karoo National Park is approximately 900 square kilometres.
Karoo National Park — The claim that 'none within the park itself' regarding fossils of mammal-like reptiles is incorrect; fossils have been found within the park boundaries.

Mapungubwe National Park — The dinosaur Plateosauravus is not known from the Mapungubwe area; the specific claim of Plateosauravus living there 210 million years ago is not supported by established paleontological records for this site.
