Three reasons to sign up to the CapeNature cluster!
- Unlimited ease of access - With a Wild Card membership, you receive a year’s unlimited access to the most beautiful nature reserves with superb picnic and braai spots, natural swimming pools, plunging waterfalls, invigorating day hikes, mountain biking and all the clean air, fantastic birdwatching and colourful fynbos you can handle.
- Activities for days - Whether you are into mountain bike trails or 4×4 routes, or simply a relaxing afternoon surrounded by breathtaking scenery, a Wild Card gives you the freedom and flexibility to escape into the wild whenever you want to, depending on the type of cluster chosen.
- 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. For example, if you access a nature reserve every day for 1 year you would pay R40 per person per entry for 365 days totalling a cost of R14 600 per person for the year. 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.
