Agulhas National Park

The park, unfortunately, does not have a backup generator at the accommodation facilities or administrative office for use during loadshedding. Customers are advised/requested to consult the loadshedding schedule before arrival and use the payment channel on the website to purchase/renew their Wild Card or to pay outstanding Conservation Fees.

South African National Parks (SANParks) committed to the upgrade and renewal of the existing Cape Agulhas Lighthouse precinct within Agulhas National Park, in order to provide an improved tourism offering and facilities.

What is Planned?

The development will include a tourism reception area for Agulhas National Park, a restaurant, a retail facility, an interpretation and exhibition area, a multi-use auditorium, vendor stalls, toilet facilities and an outdoor multi-use open area for events, as well as a parking area.

Project Timeline

Impacts during Construction

• Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on our visitors as we complete these works.
• During the course of construction, it might be necessary to close the lighthouse temporarily to the public.
• There will be no ablution facilities available during the entire construction period.
• There will be a loss of parking spaces at the back of the lighthouse, however, there are limited parking spaces off the paved road at the front of the lighthouse on the seaside.  Visitors are also welcome to park at the southernmost parking area and walk along the boardwalk to the lighthouse.
