About This Tour
Lion's Head is Cape Town's most rewarding hike β a relatively short but spectacular trail that rewards you with 360-degree panoramic views from the 669-metre summit. This guided experience takes the guesswork out of the trail and adds layers of local knowledge that make the hike truly special.
Your certified mountain guide meets you at the Signal Hill parking area and leads you along the well-marked trail, pointing out indigenous fynbos, explaining the mountain's geology, and ensuring safe passage over the famous chain-ladder section near the summit.
At the top, the reward is extraordinary β Table Mountain fills the western sky, the Atlantic Ocean stretches endlessly, Camps Bay and Clifton sparkle below, and the City Bowl spreads out in a magnificent urban tapestry. For sunrise hikes, watch as the first golden rays illuminate the mountain; for sunset, see the sky explode in oranges and pinks.
