Table Mountain National Park notes that many visitors will want to experience the upcoming full moon and lunar eclipse on the weekend of 6th, 7th and 8th of September 2025 at different vantage points from the mountain. Please visit in groups of more than four for safety purposes.

A lunar eclipse is different from a solar eclipse, which you should never stare at directly. Visibility across the city of Cape Town is expected to be optimal, and no glasses or filters are needed.

Congestion Expected: Heavy traffic and crowding are anticipated around Lion’s Head, Signal Hill and Kloof Corner

Please load our emergency number into your phone before setting off. Table Mountain National Park Emergency Number 086 110 6417. Wilderness Search and Rescue Number 021 937 0300 or dial 112.

Your safety is our priority. Thank you for helping us protect both people and the park.
