Table Mountain National Park is one of the few National Parks in South Africa where you are permitted to walk a dog. However dog walking is restricted to limited areas in order to minimize the impacts of dogs on the biodiversity of the mountain – these include running off the paths and chasing indigenous animals.
Dogs must be under the control of their owners at all times and it is illegal for dogs to be on the mountain unaccompanied. Popular areas for dog walking are Silvermine, the lower slopes of Table Mountain accessible from Constantia Nek and Tokai Pine Plantation.
Please download the Dog Walking Environmental Management Plan for details on the designated areas.
Dog Walking also carries an annual permit fee of R50 which is attached to the purchase of a WILD Card. For WILD Card and permit information call Table Mountain National Park at their offices in Westlake, Cape Town on: 021 701 8692
