Cape Town – Table Mountain National Park announced that Lion’s Head summit officially reopened after it was closed “until further notice” in June.
The reopening comes after The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) opened earlier in the month.
South African National Parks (SANParks) announced on Wednesday that it will be open from September 9 and revealed that protocols have been implemented:
- Rangers will be stationed at various points of entry to verify that users are complying with Covid-19 regulations stipulated by the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC).
- User number limitations may be imposed at the Ranger Sergeant’s discretion.
- A social distancing of at least 1.5 m must be maintained at all times.
- Users accessing the summit must wear their masks at all times. No mask, no ticket.
- Users should sanitize their hands before and after using the Lions Head Staples / Ladder or Chain Area.
- Picnics and social groups are not allowed.
SANParks has encouraged everyone to adhere to the regulations imposed to avoid a possible re-closure of the summit.
Lion’s Head’s reopening comes after TMACC opened for Tourism Month.
Wahida Parker, CEO of TMACC, said: “Just in time for Tourism Month, South Africans now have the opportunity to explore their country and its rich diversity of natural treasures, including our New 7 Wonders of Nature.
“The cable car will operate between 8 am and 3 pm from Monday to Sunday throughout the month of September,” he said.
