Groenkloof National Park

[Mischief]

Matthysie...not convinced that Sanparks Head Office has been proclaimed a national park yet?

The answer I was looking for is Bontebok National Park near Swellendam town

[Hippotragus]

Groonkloof is counted as one of the National Parks - amazing as that may seem. We learnt that on our HR courses.

[MATTHYS]

I don't think that many people realise that Groenkloof is a National Park and Bontebok is listed as the smallest NP, Mischief

Please read here :

This edition’s featured park is the SANParks’ Head Office in Groenkloof National Park in Pretoria:
• The head office and central reservations office of South African National Parks is in Groenkloof National Park, Pretoria (not to be
confused with the nearby Groenkloof Nature Reserve).
• Here the public will go to interact with staff, to make reservations for the parks or to purchase a Wild Card.
• The offices are located on the hill above UNISA and opposite the Pretoria/Tshwane Telkom Tower.
• The intention of the location is not like the other parks for biodiversity, but to have offices in the country’s capital, yet there is some
natural bush with an impressive amount of wildlife for suburbia, including hyrax, duiker, bush-baby, mongoose and around 150 bird
species.
• There are 2 designated parking bays for visitors with disabilities at reservations.
• A ramp takes visitors up into the walk-in reservations offices where people can do face-to-face bookings at lowered desks for those who
do not like using telephones or computers and prefer a personal interaction.
• There is a universally accessible toilet at the reservation offices and another one in the tourism staff offices.
• In the rest of the offices and grounds there are ramps and pathways to enable accessibility to the first 2 floors, reception,
the main boardroom etc, but until a lift is installed the top floor is inaccessible.
