Join Us

The Mountain Club of South Africa offers the opportunity to become part of a network of like-minded people, whatever activity you engage in:

• Mountaineering
• Rock climbing (bouldering, sport and traditional)
• Scrambling, walking and hiking
• Conservation
• Outreach
• Search and rescue

The MCSA-HH section organises over 50 meets every year, with something for everyone. You will also be taken to little-known parts of the Cape Mountains that few people even know exist, with exclusive access to many pristine mountain areas and huts throughout South Africa. The MCSA owns over a dozen properties and huts in the Western Cape alone, and many more in the other sections! You have reciprocal rights to all 14 sections of the Mountain Club in South Africa and Namibia.

Additional benefits

Club membership also entitles you to free access through Kirstenbosch in order to access Table Mountain and discounts from leading equipment suppliers, including Cape Union Mart, MountainMailorder and Drifters (all -10%).
