Cape Town: Free entry to nature reserves and conservation areas during Heritage Weekend 2023!

 The City of Cape Town has announced that it is offering free entry to its 21 nature reserves and conservation areas across Cape Town this Heritage Weekend. The free entry applies from Saturday, 23 September 2023 to the close of business on Monday, 25 September 2023. Activity costs at the nature reserves will remain as per normal.

"Cape Town's unique biodiversity is integral to our natural heritage, and at our nature reserves residents can fully enjoy and appreciate the beauty of our scenic surroundings. From the smallest animal, to birds, flowers and insects are on display when you slow down and take a closer look. Go, take a relaxing walk, or have a picnic, and celebrate Heritage Day Cape Town style, hopefully the weather will play along this weekend," said the City of Cape Town's Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.

Cape Town's nature reserves protect and conserve the natural areas and biodiversity heritage. Most of these reserves conserve unique biodiversity that may only be found in Cape Town. They are an integral part of the city's Biodiversity Network.
