Essential: Seasonal Opening Hours
Park gates open at sunrise and close strictly at sunset. This applies to entrance gates and internal camp gates.
Important: You must be inside your designated camp before sunset. Driving after dark is strictly prohibited!
How it Works: Entry & Payment
The entrance gates do not accept payments. Follow this official procedure.
Step 1: The Entrance Gate
Fill out the arrival register. You will receive a temporary entry slip. Keep it safe!
