The trail going up Lion’s head is a screw top trail you’ll be circling the mountain getting to the top. At one point the path gives way to rough ground you have to step up using your hands to scramble over rocks. You will then continue steeply upwards to the first ladder, before traversing along a shelf with a chain handrail. Next, you will reach a fork, where you will have the choices to either veer left to circumnavigate two rock pitches or to turn right and climb the rock pitches. If you are not into vertical rock steps continue left, past some huge pine trees to gain the crest of the southeast ridge. At the summit of Lion's Head one has a 360 degree view it is one of the three iconic peaks that frame the city of Cape Town. It has Table Mountain as its backdrop and it is situated in the smallest and richest floral kingdoms in the world. Then little by little, the city lights will turn on or off offering a new sight. You will be provided with a headlamp when needed. Small group.

I had a beautiful experience doing the lions head sunrise hike. Patrick my guide was very professional and catered to my every need. He carried my jacket, brought tea and coffee for us to enjoy whilst watching the sunrise which was beautiful. Views amazing and guide was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

The hike was amazing! Patrick is such a nice guide, very talkative and knows a lot about the (history of the) country. The pick-up/drop-off was very convenient and the hike was no rush at all and there was plenty of time to enjoy the amazing view/take pictures. Since the hike also took place although it was only me, I highly recommend this activity for solo travelers. Thanks Patrick! :)

Michael was an amazing guide. Took the hike at my own rithm, explained everything nature, took pictures, encouraged me to keep pushing but always made me feel at ease. The views are breathtaking both at sunset and coming down at night. I truly recommend and will do it again!
