South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) announced its decision to implement dual pricing. SANBI took the decision to implement dual pricing due to the increased costs to the organisation and financial setbacks of 2020 due to COVID-19. It was concluded that a different pricing structure for Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden will provide sufficient revenue that will meet our rising conservation needs and ability to maintain a high standard for visitors.
𝗞𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗵 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟭:
• Non-South African Residents of 18 years and older: R200
• South African Residents of 18 years and older (with ID): R80
• Students from a South African institute (with student card): R45
• Scholars/Learners (6 – 17 years): R25
• Children under 6 years: Free
• BotSoc members (with membership card): Free
• South African residents over the age of 60 (with ID): Free on Tuesdays except on public holidays
Regular visitors to Kirstenbosch would have noticed that our entry fees remained unchanged since 1 September 2019. While the new price of R200 for adults is implemented from 1 April, South African residents can enjoy a lower rate that is only marginally more expensive that the current rate; adults (18 years and older) will pay R80, and South African students R45.
All learners between 6 and 17 years will pay R25 from 1 April and children under 6 years will continue having free access to the garden, irrespective of where they reside.
In order to claim the lower ticket rate, South African residents over 18 years can show their ID, a certified paper copy of their ID, an electronic copy of their ID or their driver's licence. Students from a South African tertiary institute need to show their student card in order to qualify for the South African student rate.
