If youâre a nature enthusiast planning a visit to Table Mountain National Park, thereâs excellent news for you! Starting 1 April 2023, two of the parkâs gates, Cape Point and Boulders Penguin Colony, will be completely cash-free. The move is part of the South African National Parks (SANParks) initiative, which began earlier this year, to go entirely cashless. This initiative simplifies the payment process and promotes a more eco-friendly approach to park management.
As a visitor, you no longer need to worry about bringing cash to pay for your conservation or entry fees at these two gates. Instead, the payment process has been made easier and safer by using either a debit or credit card. Visitors can also purchase tickets online, making it even more convenient for them.
The cash-free initiative is part of SANParksâ effort to modernize its payment system and move towards a more eco-friendly approach to park management. It will help simplify the payment process and reduce the need for cash handling, making it safer and more efficient for visitors and park staff.
If you plan your next visit to Table Mountain National Park, have your credit or debit card ready, or purchase your tickets online. This way, you can enjoy the parkâs beauty without the hassle of carrying cash. Tickets are available on the SANParks website.
