The Twelve Apostles mountain range above the Atlantic seaboard, Cape Town — Cape Town region · representative photograph, not this specific trail

SANParks lists Oudekraal as a Table Mountain National Park picnic and braai pay point: a coastal site among rocks on the Atlantic, sold as a day ticket on the official SANParks tickets desk. Alcohol, dogs and music are prohibited in TMNP picnic braai areas, and braaing is often banned in high wind. Confirm the current Oudekraal conservation fee on the SANParks TMNP rates page — we do not copy a rand figure. A Wild Card or TMNP My Green Card covers this named pay point. Confirm gate times on the SANParks entrance-gates page before you drive. This is not De Oude Kraal in the Free State, and not a municipal Camps Bay beach.
