- Bang for buck - More specifically unplug and get unlimited access to 25 CapeNature reserves. Every visitor to a nature reserve is obligated to pay a conservation fee upon entering the reserve. By purchasing a Wild Card, you and all the members registered on the card gets exempted from paying a conservation fee.

By purchasing a CapeNature individual membership you would pay R655 once off for a year's unlimited access to the nature reserves saving you R13 945. Does that not sound amazing! T&Cs apply.
