Ask for kieron - best guide there is - Had an amazing time, beautiful hike and views. If you want to learn about the culture and history of south Africa, and also learn about the different flowers along the route, ask for kieron, he was great!

beautiful experience - Beautiful view, the guide is Elodye Davids, extremely patient, available and gentle; the experience was extremely good even for me that I am a beginner, definitely worth the price. It takes around 3/4 hours and you will get beautiful pictures

Memorable Lion Head hike! - Yvette was an amazing guide. She was prompt on time for pickup and was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and even prepared a wonderful breakfast for us at the summit. Her photo taking was on point and she captured the perfect picture of both of us with a full circle rainbow at the top.

Epic views and good vibes - It might seem a bit pricey, but my husband and I enjoyed the safety and peace of mind of having a guide take us up the mountain. We went at sunset and it was utterly epic — our guide provided torches, snacks, and warm tea at the summit. Two hours was more than enough to get to the summit and be prepared for epic views! Overall, not a challenging hike at all in good weather at sunset.

5 star experience - Yvette was a fantastic guide for lion’s head. She was incredibly well equipped and made the hike super enjoyable but also ensured we felt really safe and in good hands. She was also really knowledgeable about the area and the floral diversity on the mountain… and even hand baked brownies! We would definitely hike with Yvette again.

Perfect Hike! - What an experience! Yvette was truly the perfect guide for us on this hike. It was my first time handling such an open hike and heights and she kept my husband and I very comfortable and engaged. We never felt rushed and she was such a pleasant friend to chat with too! She also took seriously epic photos for us! Highly recommend this hike with Yvette!
