Lion's Head hike is a tour which we recommend to those looking for the best scenic views of Cape Town. The aerial views on Lion's Head are better than those you get while hiking Table Mountain or on other routes. While this hike is the easiest of the Cape Town treks because of the short duration it takes to submit the mountain, a guide is still advised because we would like to share our expert knowledge of the trail with you on a 3 hour hike which takes you from your hotel or accommodation in Cape Town and gets you to the highest point above Lion's Head which is approximately 669 meters above sea level.

Het was een pittige hike naar boven maar zeker de moeite waard. Mooie zonsopgang en uitzicht over Kaapstad.

It was canceled at 4:30 in the morning. I was waiting for my hotel pu when I found that out. The operator led me to believe I could go later in the day.

Hiking up the mountain was more challenging than I thought it would be but totally worth it! Imagine walking through clouds while hiking up a spiraling mountain. The views were absolutely heavenly!
My guide Barry was absolutely amazing! He picked me up from the hotel I was staying at and we headed to Lions Head for the sunrise hike. He had water, snacks, headlamps, and backpacks prepared for us. He was also very knowledgeable about the different birds and plants we saw on our journey and patient as my hiking stamina wasn’t that strong at first.
