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.
