_______________
Table Mountain National Park has two world-renowned landmarks within its boundaries: the majestic Table Mountain and the legendary Cape of Good Hope. Declared by UNESCO as a Word Heritage Site, the Table Mountain National Park encompasses the incredibly scenic Peninsula mountain chain that stretches from Signal Hill in the north all the way to the dramatic Cape Point in the south. Which is an accumulative distance of approximately 60km.
Recognised globally for its extraordinarily rich and diverse fauna and flora, this singular land formation, with rugged cliffs, steep slopes, and sandy flats, is a truly phenomenal natural, scenic, historical, cultural, and recreational asset both locally and internationally. Nowhere else in the entire world does an area of such unique beauty and rich biodiversity exist almost entirely within a metropolitan area.
The Table Mountain National Park is also home to the world’s smallest, yet most diverse, floral kingdom, known as the Cape Floristic Region. With the beloved Cape Fynbos, an ancient indigenous vegetation that is endemic to the tip of the African continent, being one of only six floral kingdoms in the world and is the only one that occurs entirely in one country.

Visitor Safety Tips & Precautions
- ALWAYS TRAVEL IN A GROUP! Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) recommends that all activities including but not limited to walking, jogging, trail running, cycling and horse riding are to be carried out in groups of four or more. Criminals are much more likely to go after individuals than groups.
- Tell someone reliable where you are going (CONTACT PERSON). Tell them which route you are using and what time to expect you back. If you are en route and think you will be a bit late, call that person and give them the new time you will be back. They must know who to call and where to go look for you if you are not back in time.
- Stay on demarcated pathways and trails.
- Have a map of the area with you and leave a copy of the same map with your contact person.
- Avoid known dangerous parts of the mountain. As the TMNP is primarily an open access Park from time to time there is criminal activity in some of the urban edge areas of the Park.
- Wear the correct hiking gear and shoes.
- Do not carry valuables, cash, cameras, etc. | Leave all valuables at home.
- Cycle, hike or run during daylight hours only.
- Keep an eye on the weather and other mountain conditions. The weather in Cape Town and on Table Mountain especially, is unpredictable and can change suddenly. There may be a loss of visibility. Keep an eye on these changes and ensure you pack suitable clothing for all conditions, i.e. a hat, jacket, etc. Walk/run/cycle with a sense of purpose. If you are wandering aimlessly or look lost you are more likely to attract unwanted attention.
- Know your access and escape routes. You should always know the quickest way to safety. And your contact person should know which routes you will use if you are in trouble. Have a plan and stick to the plan.
- Stay alert for possible dangers. Be aware of your surroundings, as to ensure that you do not get surprised. Avoid distractions. You are an easier target if you are distracted by listening to music on headphones, talking on your phone etc.
- Know emergency numbers. Although it is good to have it programmed on your phone, remember if your phone is stolen, the number is no good unless you have memorised it. You can always stop someone else along the route and ask if you can use their phone to call emergency services. Know your local SAPS telephone number.
