Before visiting any property which the MCSA owns or has access privileges to, please ensure that you are familiar with the rules and etiquette downloadable here.
Be aware that hut booking and property access transgressions are regarded as extremely serious, and may result in your expulsion from the Club.
At MCSA-CT, we love sharing our passion for the mountains. Social media is a great way to inspire adventure, connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, and celebrate our beautiful landscapes. We encourage responsible sharing that aligns with our values of respect, safety, inclusivity, and conservation.
✅ Focus on the Experience – Share the beauty, challenges, and joy of mountaineering, rather than exact locations.
❌ Do not share GPS coordinates, detailed routes, or hut locations – this helps protect access agreements and prevents trespassing. Instead, use general references like the mountain range or region, and tag #MCSACapeTown & @mcsacapetown. Also add this message: “For information on how to access this amazing spot, visit www.mcsacapetown.co.za.”
✅ Commercial Use & Promotion – MCSA huts, meets, and properties are for personal enjoyment, not commercial gain.
❌ Do not use MCSA huts, meets, and properties for any commercial gain or advertising. This includes promoting personal channels/websites where there is potential for financial gain (e.g. YouTube).
✅ Respect Privacy – Always get permission before posting images of others, especially minors.
❌ Do not share personal details of members or landowners.
❌ Do not post photos of children or vulnerable adults without written consent or unless their faces are obscured.
✅ Drones & Wildlife – Our wilderness areas are sensitive ecosystems and private lands.
❌ No drones are allowed on MCSA properties in any capacity and consequently no drone footage may be shared on any platform, aligned with Cape Nature regulations.
❌ Avoid posting photos of threatened or endangered species.
✅ Protect the Wilderness – Let’s showcase responsible mountaineering.
❌ Do not post content that glamorises risky behaviour (e.g. reckless climbing, fires in sensitive areas, littering, or other environmental harm).
✅ Members should be aware of any personal legal liability they could incur by publishing restricted content on any platform. MCSA-CT reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership if members do not comply with these guidelines.
✅ By following these guidelines, you help protect our wild spaces, maintain good relationships with landowners, and keep our mountain adventures safe for everyone. Let’s work together to keep MCSA-CT a place for exploration, respect, and community!

Whether you’re overnighting in the hut or camping in the grounds, your visit must be pre-booked and the correct fees pre-paid for all members and guests who will comprise your party. The huts can be booked up to two months in advance.
NB: Hut keys, and their associated booking privileges – earned by meeting a number of specific requirements – are NOT transferable between members. Any key-holding member who makes a booking MUST be present with the group on the specified date(s). The booking member is considered the leader of the group, and is responsible for the actions of the group. If the leader is unable to attend, the booking must be cancelled, or transferred to another key-holding member only.
Bookings for overnighting in Table Mountain Hut, Agtertafelberg Hut, and Sybas Hut can be made online at www.booking.mcsacapetown.co.za. You can sign in using the same username and password as for this site.
Booking procedures for other properties remain unchanged. (Refer to each property’s page for details.)
