Tsitsikamma National Park

Tsitsikamma is not one gate but several, and each area has its own fee. The forest side works as one unit: a single daily permit covers Plaatbos, the Goesa forest trails and the Big Tree, paid by card at the pay-points. Storms River Mouth has a rest camp with tent and caravan sites, and its security gate stays open around the clock, though day-visitor entry hours there are not stated. Nature’s Valley has its own office, and overnight guests arriving after it closes check in at the main gate. The trade-off: the forest permit does not include Storms River Mouth or Nature’s Valley, which charge separate conservation fees, so combining the forest with the coast in one day means paying twice.
