SANParks to establish a new National Park in the Eastern Cape

South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that work is underway to establish a high-altitude national park in the mountains of South Africa's Eastern Cape. The new National Park (North Eastern Cape Grasslands National Park?) will be located close to the Lesotho border and the spectacular Naude's Nek pass - the country's highest lying road at over 2500m.

The new proposed National Park in the Eastern Cape is a collaboration between SANParks and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). This will see a 30 000-hectare protected area that, once formally declared, will become South Africa's newest national park, significantly contributing towards the conservation of grasslands and water security. We'll keep you posted!
