The week-long campaign will be applicable to all the national parks managed by SANParks, with the exception of Boulders Beach in Table Mountain National Park and Namaqua National Park.
A number of parks will be extending free entry into the weekend and the Cape Point section of TMNP will be celebrating the week with a kiddies special, where children get a free trip on the Flying Dutchman Funicular and a free meal at the Two Oceans Restaurant, if accompanied by a paying adult.
According to SANParks Acting Head of Communications, Mr Reynold Thakhuli the objective of the week is to cultivate a culture of pride in all South Africans in their relationship with the country’s natural, cultural and historical heritage. “When people start to take pride in the national parks, then we believe that they will start to understand the importance of conservation.”
