A SANParks Gift for Spring: Your Guide to a Great Start to the Season
Taking place from 7 to 13 September 2026, the annual initiative arrives just in time
for a refreshing start to spring. In the Overberg, visitors can choose between two
distinctly different experiences: exploring the rugged coastline at Agulhas National
Park or enjoying wildlife, hiking and mountain scenery at Bontebok National Park
near Swellendam.

Or the fact that, in just over two hours, you arrive somewhere that feels entirely removed from urgency.

Across both days, the message was clear: aviation in South Africa is not just about legacy—it’s about continuity.
