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 center, 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 colors—perfect for unforgettable photo opportunities.
For those traveling with friends, a private hiking option for up to six travelers is also available.
Coffee/tea on sunrise hike.
