Overview
- SanParks issued a temporary closure for Table Mountain National Park due to dangerous weather conditions in Cape Town.
- Closures cover Lion’s Head Summit, Signal Hill, Tokai trails and picnic sites, Silvermine picnic areas, and the Forest Link walkway at Boulders, with the Cape of Good Hope funicular and shuttle suspended.
- Park teams are handling fallen trees, flooding, unstable paths, and some wildlife rescue needs across affected sections.
- Officials urged people to avoid unnecessary travel and hiking, to stay clear of rivers, streams, coasts, and low-lying areas, and to follow all safety signs and instructions.
- Other SanParks sites in the Cape Region remain open on high alert as the weather service warns of heavy rain, strong winds, very cold conditions, and possible flooding through Wednesday.
