The South African National Parks (SANParks) is building a massive multimillion-rand Dinosaur Centre legacy project at the Golden Gate Highlands Park after the discovery of dinosaur eggs in the park.

The Godumodumo Dinosaur Centre and research facility is at its tail-end phase where visitors and students from all over the world will be able to learn more about the study of archaeology and palaeontology.

“The construction is on track and we hope to launch the centre as soon as the end of this financial year,” said Sipho Mkhwa, SANParks Regional Marketing and Communications Manager.

He said that SANParks is confident that the Dinosaur centre will provide the most ideal platform for visitors to learn more about dinosaurs and other interesting facts about the Golden Gate Highlands.

Tourism Deputy Minister, Fish Mahlalela visited the park on Sunday (26 September) as part of the National Department of Tourism’s activities to commemorate national Tourism month across the country.

“The MOU between the Department and SANParks has been a strategic partnership that has birthed the incredible Dinosaur Centre and many other significant tourism infrastructure projects at the South African National Parks (SANParks),” said Mahlalela.
