This convenient new option makes it easier for travellers to obtain their permit and enjoy all the amazing activities on offer.
According to SANParks, the permit is necessary for anyone who intends to engage in specific recreational activities within the park. It grants permission to undertake recreational activities such as cycling, horse riding, paragliding and dog walking within the park.
The activity permits are issued in terms of the activity’s Environmental Management Plan which sets out the areas and trails where that particular activity can take place.

Activities which require a permit are categorised into three levels:
- Level 1 – Dog-walking
- Level 1 – Multi User Level 1 card additional member
- Level 2 – Hang-gliding, paragliding, sport climbing
- Level 3 – Horse-riding, cycling, line fishing, and transport
- Level 3 – Additional member
For Level 3 activities such as line fishing or Marine Species Access at Cape of Good Hope (Cape Point), a valid DFFE recreational fishing permit is required.
The ‘My Activity Permit’ is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Permit holders are exempt from paying entrance fees at TMNP pay points when engaging in specified activities.
