Cash-Free Entry to Cape Point and Boulders Penguin Colony in Table Mountain National Park

If you’re a nature enthusiast planning a visit to Table Mountain National Park, there’s excellent news for you! Starting 1 April 2023, two of the park’s 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.
