Overview

Lion's Head hike is a tour which we recommend to those looking for the best scenic views of Cape Town. The aerial views on Lion's Head are better than those you get while hiking Table Mountain or on other routes. While this hike is the easiest of the Cape Town treks because of the short duration it takes to submit the mountain, a guide is still advised because we would like to share our expert knowledge of the trail with you on a 3 hour hike which takes you from your hotel or accommodation in Cape Town and gets you to the highest point above Lion's Head which is approximately 669 meters above sea level.

What Can You Expect?

Enjoy a complimentary hotel pickup and transfer from your centrally located Cape Town accommodations to the Lion's Head hike. Before hiking, take part in a short safety briefing. Then, you’ll be ready for your 4-hour scenic hike over Cape Town.

Departing from the Lion's Head trail, you'll first head to Lion's Head summit to take in the stunning views over Cape Town. After exploring the view over Cape Town, head back toward the starting point. While on the hike, look to take photographs. Other sights during the Lion's Head hike include South African nature.

With a live English Speaking guide, get to know the best places on Lion's Head as you enjoy the incredible views. Your professional guide will provide expert commentary along the way. After the completion of your hike, enjoy the worry-free transfer in a courtesy vehicle back to your hotel in Cape Town.

What a morning! We really enjoyed our hike with Barry. This was not an easy hike, but it was so great to be up at the top in time for sunrise. We all loved this experience!

Getting an Uber after the hike was almost impossible; they cancelled, or were delayed or unavailable. Of the 11 of us, 6 made it to the top, 4 made it 75% of the way and 1 got 50% there. It is more strenuous than you might have been told.

Barry was a friendly and experienced tour guide who was very patient with us. The hike is not too long but a bit technical and having a guide really helped us. The view from the top is absolutely amazing, it is definitely worth climbing up.

Glad we started with three full water bottles and caps for everyone. The hike and the way is well marked and enjoyable all through. The hike goes around the mountain and is fairly easy for most part. But the last part is as challenging as gorgeous! It’s worth every step!!! Our children were delighted with the tricks to get to the top and mostly with the final view. What an amazing treasure!!

I’ve hiked Lion’s Head a few times, but on this particular day my BF and I woke up late and only started our hike around 12:30pm on a hot Summer’s afternoon! Pro’s: You basically doing this popular hike alone- there was no one in front or behind us, only many coming down (laughing at us for starting midday). There were some shadey spots where we could catch our breath and not feel rushed or guilty for resting as it was only us enroute. Once we reached the top it was just us and 3 other people- GREAT for a solo photoshoot! And then jumping into Camps Bay beach and not feeling the cold Atlantic water. Cons: Extremely hot, draining and you run out of water quickly. I’d say stick to a morning hike or sunset, but prepare for a busy sunset hike. P.S. Do not wear black whilst hiking in Summer!
