Garden Route National Park: Access requirements for the Komsepad section of the Knysna Lakes Section
South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced the implementation of access requirements for the Komsepad section of the Knysna Lakes Section of the Garden Route National Park from 01 November 2024. The access requirements, including standard conservation and cycling permit fees which are not new, are part of a broader effort to manage the area effectively. Permit fees collected will directly support the maintenance, security, and continued conservation of the park’s resources, ensuring they remain available for public enjoyment and ecological sustainability. Cyclists and other regular park visitors may obtain daily permits at the Komsepad entry gate or pre-book them through SANParks' Diepwalle office.
The Knysna Lakes Section of the Garden Route National Park is a beautiful and ecologically diverse area in South Africa’s Western Cape, centered around the Knysna Estuary. This section is renowned for its lush indigenous forests, unique marine and estuarine ecosystems, and historical charm. It’s a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiasts, bird-watchers, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature.
