Update on 18Jan2010:
Cost of the wildcard has gone up to R75, but still well worth it! A single adult’s entrance into Cape Point costs R75. Children under 12 cost R10 – so pay the R10 per child and save your 12 entries for adults.
This offer is not limited to a family – so a husband and wife can each get their 12 entry wildcard once every 12 months. Thanks to a lady at the Century City information centre for this information.
Don’t forget to take your ID or driver’s license when entering the parks.
Update on 27Jul2011:
ReplyDelete"My Green Card" is now available for R80
Info obtained from here:" http://celtis.sanparks.org/parks/table_mountain/tourism/wildcard.php
The TMNP My Green Card is available exclusively to residents of Cape Town, costs R80 and provides the holder with 12 free entries into any of the Table Mountain National Park’s pay points: Cape of Good Hope (Cape Point); Boulders Penguin Colony, Oudekraal and Silvermine, as well as to the braai and picnic areas at Tokai, Newlands and Perdekloof. It offers fantastic value as without the card, just one adult entry to Cape Point costs R80.
