What is Cape Town's Wild Card?

Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) has its own My Green Card, which is available only to Cape Town residents and has replaced the Cape Town Wild Card. My Green Card operates separately from the Wild Card and has its own rules and requirements. More information can be obtained from the SANParks website or by contacting tablemountain@sanparks.org or 021-712-7471.

Does my Wild Card include a permit for activities in the Table Mountain National Park?

•    Level 1 – dog walking
