LION’S HEAD

THE 360 DEGREE VIEW

Lion’s Head is easily one of Cape Town’s most iconic and popular trails, offering spectacular panoramas during a dedicated sunrise or sunset hike.
This circular route feels less strenuous than climbing Table Mountain, but it still features an exciting mix of ladders, staples, and rock scrambles near the summit. While these sections will challenge your footwork, reaching the top provides a massive sense of reward as you watch the sun hit the Atlantic Ocean. We will loop back down around the peak to complete this unforgettable trek.

Grade: A and B sections
Distance: 5.5km (3.4 miles) to top and back down
Time duration: +/- 3hours
Elevation: 300m (984ft)
