Western Cape: CapeNature's "Free Access Week" is back in September 2019!

CapeNature, the public institution with the responsibility for biodiversity conservation in South Africa's Western Cape, offers free access to all CapeNature reserves open to the public from 23 - 29 September 2019. Free day access will only apply at reserve gates and will pertain to general access (conservation fee) and hiking, mountain biking and picnicking. The waiver will not (!) apply to the Whale Trail or concessions (including canopy tours, bouldering, horse riding etc). 

Zero (R0) rated permits need to be given to everyone accessing the reserve during this time, as per usual standard procedure to ensure that all access numbers and activity numbers are recorded. Access to protected areas during the CapeNature Access Week will be conducted during regular reserve hours and applies to entries at CapeNature reserve gates. No free access fee will apply when booking through the call centre/online bookings and excludes accommodation bookings (normal rates and access fees apply with any accommodation booking).
