Lion's Head Hiking Trail

choose to do this for sunrise or sunset to get the most out of the stunning sky show that happens over the city. The walk can be steep at times but it well worth the effort once you reach the top with 360 degree views over camps bay, the city and table mountain.

Lion's Head Hiking Trail

One of the coolest sunsets of my life on the top of this iconic mountain. Timing is key. Depending on your hiking abilities, do this hike in the evening, reaching the top for sunset. You'll have a 360 outlook of Cape Town, Table Mountain, the ocean, and a perfect view of the sun dipping below the horizon. Make sure you have a flashlight to get down (I used my phone's flashlight just fine). The hike itself is doable for beginners, just might take a little longer. There are sections where you climb ladders and use chains for balance. I was super into it.
