• Lion’s Head Hike Parking - Experience the most iconic view of Cape Town from the summit of Lion’s Head Instagram rock, offering breathtaking 360-degree vistas.
  The trail ascending Lion’s Head is a spiral, allowing hikers to circle the mountain and enjoy views in every direction. At a certain point, the path becomes rugged, requiring the use of hands to scramble over rocks. The hike then continues steeply upwards to the first ladder, followed by a traverse to the left along a ledge with a chain handrail. Upon reaching a fork, hikers can choose to veer left to bypass two rock pitches or turn right to climb them. For those who prefer to avoid vertical rock steps, continuing left is advisable, allowing the path to pass by large stone pine trees and reach the crest of the southeast ridge.
  At the summit, enjoy a 360-degree view of Cape Town, one of the three iconic peaks framing the city, with Table Mountain as a backdrop. It is located in the smallest yet richest floral kingdom in the world. As the city lights gradually turn on/off, a new view emerges for the descent, where a headlamp will be provided.
