Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) Management would like to announce that the Lions Head Trail will reopen today, 1 March 2019.
Please note that there is a section with new infrastructure along the pathway that still requires completion. This will be clearly marked on-site.
We ask that all visitors comply with the on-site signage and use the existing ladder or spiral pathway to reach the summit. Many illegal trails have been closed as a part of rehabilitation efforts and we ask that visitors respect these closures and stay on the demarcated trail.
The conservation team have also commenced vegetation rehabilitation in a number of places and the Park requests visitors to assist the team with this process by not stepping off the pathway for any reason.
We would like to remind visitors that the footpath on the north facing slope from the Kramat, leading up to the spiral trail, will remain closed for further rehabilitation as a result of the fire event in February 2019.
Lastly, please assist the Park by taking home all your litter when you leave. Take photos and leave only footprints. TMNP would like to take this opportunity to thank our visitors for their patience and understanding during this essential rehabilitation project.
