Overview

This small-group hike, limited to a maximum of 6 participants, offers a more personal and authentic experience. Lion’s Head is one of the three iconic peaks that frame the city of Cape Town and is renowned for its spectacular 360-degree views.
Located just a 15-minute drive from the city centre, Lion’s Head is easily accessible. Lion's Head summit is reachable in approximately 90 minutes. With Table Mountain as its dramatic backdrop, the mountain lies within one of the smallest yet richest floral kingdoms in the world.
Hiking Lion’s Head at sunset/sunrise is a cherished Capetonian tradition, when the evening sun bathes the ocean and coastline in a golden glow, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere. A sunrise hike is equally magical, offering a peaceful start to the day as the sky shifts through vibrant colours—perfect for unforgettable photo opportunities.
For those travelling with friends, a private hiking option for up to six travellers is also available.

Activity itinerary

Experience Cape Town’s most iconic viewpoint on the Lion’s Head hike — a thrilling 360° summit with unbeatable views of Table Mountain, the city, and the Atlantic coastline. The winding “screw-top” trail circles the mountain, offering panoramic photo opportunities in every direction. Expect some scrambling over rocky sections, a few short ladders, and a chain-handrailed shelf before a final ladder leads to the 669 m summit. Perfect for sunset or sunrise hikes, the summit rewards you with sweeping city and ocean vistas as daylight shifts. For night descents, headlamps are provided so you can safely return while the city lights transform the landscape. This challenging route is one of Cape Town’s three iconic peaks and a must-do for photographers and outdoor lovers. Highlights: 360° views, Table Mountain backdrop, short rock scrambles, ladders and chains, sunset/night options.
