Golden Gate Highlands National Park: New "Godumodumo Dinosaur Centre" is almost complete!

South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that the construction of the Godumodumo Dinosaur Centre in the Golden Gate Highlands National Park is at its tail-end phase. The launch of the state-of-the-art interpretive centre is expected towards the end of this financial year. The Godumodumo Dinosaur Centre is a legacy project that was funded by the National Department of Tourism (NDT) through its Tourism Infrastructure Development Fund in 2018. It will serve as an iconic tourist attraction modelled on the narrative interpretation of the paleontological, archaeological and geological evidence found at the Golden Gate Highlands National Park.

Golden Gate Highlands National Park is located in north eastern Free State in South Africa. The National Park covers an area of 340 km² and is known for its dramatic golden, ochre, and orange-hued, deeply eroded sandstone cliffs. The Free State's only national park is home to mongooses, eland, zebras, and over 100 bird species.
