About this experience

Lion’s Head is Cape Town’s favourite hike, a spiralling path up a distinctive peak between Table Mountain and the Atlantic. Near the top, chains and ladders help on the steepest sections, though an alternative route avoids them.

At sunrise, the summit offers 360-degree views over the city, Table Mountain, Robben Island and the ocean.
