Touching the plants, flowers, and vegetation

10 Bad Things You Can’t Do (And Why)
Fires (including cigarettes)
A big NO, fires are prohibited on Table Mountain for the apparent reason that they cause forest burn and loss of many innocent lives.
We’re even adding another paragraph here to emphasize that NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED on Table Mountain. Don’t do it.
Picking plants
Touching plants are okay, but picking is prohibited because it takes away from the vegetation, which prevents soil erosion. Landslides happen.
Stepping on flowers
Why would you want to step on the flowers anyway, aren’t they pretty? Besides providing photogenic opportunities, they are for the bees.
Killing wild animals
Wow, would there be anyone to hurt this cute Dassie? (Pictured above). Wild animals are part of the reserve and protected by law.
Making alterations to the path
SANParks, a Cape Town management team, maintains Table Mountain. Changing tracks that they added routes to is strictly prohibited.
Taking photos on dangerous spots
Large rocks called boulders are at the edge of Table Mountain. These rocks make for good pictures but are risky.
Standing on or outside the cable car
The Cable Car, Aerial Cableway, maintains an indemnity and disclaimer. Risks of visiting Table Mountain National Park stated clearly.
Selling tickets at the Aerial Cableway
Resale of tickets at the upper and lower Aerial Cableway banned due to the shady sellers with dark glasses. Table Mountain bundled cards.
Ignoring the signs and throwing trash
Let’s say that you ignored every other warning, other than do not throw garbage. For the love of Dassies, do not throw trash on the mountain.
Idling at the Cable Car Aerial Cableway
Cars idling at the lower aerial cableway met with a green-shirted staff member from Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, move on quickly.
