Table Mountain Differential Tariffs
SANParks announced that as of 1 November 2018 Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) would be charging differential tariffs as of at all its entry gates. These entry gates include Cape Point, Boulders, Silvermine, Tokai and the Picnic sites. All the other 19 National parks have been charging differential tariffs since 2005 and Table Mountain National Park has moved to follow suit.
As of 1 November 2018 the park will have three rates for entry at the gates.
The Standard rate which is what Foreign Visitors will pay. No documentation is required to be submitted at the gate upon entry on this rate
The SADC rate afforded to those visitors who can prove they are SADC Nationals by producing their original passport on arrival at the gate. This requirement is in place for every adult who enters the park on this rate and not just the driver of the vehicle.
The Local rate is what South African Residents will be charged if they can prove they are SA residents at the gate on entry. To claim the SA rate on arrival the accepted documentation is one of the following: SA ID Book, SA ID Card, SA Drivers Licence, SA Passport, proof of Permanent Residency or valid visa (work, spousal, volunteer, retirement, study). Proof of your local address is regrettably not accepted. It needs to be an official document as listed above. Refunds will not be offered for those who pay the standard tariff on entry and then after departure submit proof of South African Identification.
Every adult in the vehicle who wishes to claim the South African rate on entry must provide proof they are South African. It is not sufficient that the driver of the vehicle can prove they are South African. All children over the age of 12 are billed as adults, a policy applied across all National Park gates. Children under 18 do not need to supply proof of South African identification when entering with an adult South African provided the adult qualifies for the SA rate on the date of entry.
The park requests all locals visiting the park to have their SA identification at hand when stopping at the gate kiosk to facilitate the quick processing of all vehicles through the gates. Should you plan to visit regularly SANParks suggest you consider applying for a Wild Card through their loyalty programme.
