MTPA’s amended tariffs effective 12 December 2025

A 7% increase will apply for South African citizens and SADC nationals, and a 15% increase for other foreign nationals.  The increase for local citizens is based on various factors, including the need to align more closely with    actual operational costs, as well as the need for infrastructure investment.

Adjustments include the following:

Blyde River Canyon All Access Ticket which is a value-for-money offering, which is limited to one-day on-entry to all the MTPA viewpoints on the   Panorama Route, will be R161 for SA citizens, and R203 for SADC, and R385 for Foreign Nationals.

Tariff for Wild camping sites will remain unchanged at R2 500 but will      increase slightly during the high season to R2 600.

Filming rates will remain unchanged.

The MTPA is governed by the MTPA Act which obliges the Agency to     progressively generate its own revenue collection.  It is therefore important to note that the income in general will be used for maintenance of the aging infrastructure at various sites to further provide visitors with the best       possible experience and value for money.

The MTPA further undertakes to introduce new tourism activities for specific nature reserves, providing more choices tor further enhance visitor           experience.
