IF you are a nature lover and are currently looking to travel, do note that in celebration of National Tourism Week and the end of winter, select National Botanical Gardens across South Africa are offering discounted access deals and rebates between now and September 10.
Nontsikelelo Mpulo director of marketing, communication and commercialization at the SA National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) says SANBI is delighted to be a participant in The Great South African Sale, a domestic tourism initiative that invites South Africans to venture out and enjoy the wonderful tourism destination delights that their own country offers.
“SANBI is custodian of a dozen National Botanical Gardens as well as the National Zoo in Pretoria. These are all wonderful day visit destinations: offering the benefit of unspoiled nature, fresh air and truly beautiful surroundings. Each garden has unique features that celebrate and conserve the astonishing biodiversity of our country. There is no better way to enjoy early spring, celebrate Tourism Week and observe Heritage Month than by visiting one, more even more than one, of these very special sites.”
Participating gardens are offering gate fee discounts of between ten and 30 percent, with some gardens offering free entry to children who are accompanied by an adult. In addition, select National Botanical Gardens are offering hefty tour operator discounts during Tourism Week. The National Zoo in Pretoria is giving free entry to children who are accompanied by their parents.
Says Nontsikelelo: “The weather is glorious and the gardens are just waiting to be explored and enjoyed. SANBI is delighted to be participating in National Tourism Week. We look forward immensely to welcoming people to the gardens to enjoy these unique and beautiful South African treasures of biodiversity.”
