The Lion’s Head hike is the quintessential Cape Town experience - short, scenic, and soul-stirring. From one trail, you’ll see every side of the city: Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles, Robben Island, and the Atlantic Ocean stretching forever.
What makes it special with Klipspring Hikes is the mix of safety, storytelling, and simple pleasures - local guides who’ve spent a lifetime exploring these slopes, coffee brewed on the mountain, and good conversation with a view.
Expect a decent workout, a few light scrambles, and the kind of 360° panorama that makes you fall in love with Cape Town all over again. You can even pre-order one of our homemade hiking packs filled with fresh sourdough sandwiches, pancakes, and “padkos” snacks to enjoy on top.
And for every hike booked, we plant a tree through our partners at Greenpop - because every step should give something back to nature.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Sometimes parking is tricky, so we will text you when we're outside!
Meet at the start of the trail where the coffee/drinks trailer is parked.
What to expect
Few Cape Town hikes pack so much reward into so little time, especially on a sunrise, sunset or full-moon climb.
Near the top you choose your own line: take on the short chains-and-staples scramble, or loop around it on a scenic detour to reach the same summit for similar effort. On busy weekends and through the summer peak, your Klipspring guide can pick a quieter route to keep the crowds at bay.
At the top we'll soak up the views with freshly brewed coffee, tea or sundowners before descending down this spectacular classic Cape Town hike.
