Cape Town: Lion's Head Scenic Loop or Summit - Sunrise or Sunset Discount Tickets

Overview

Experience Lion’s Head your way with a qualified local mountain guide. Choose the relaxed Scenic Loop for spectacular views without the summit climb, or take on the classic Summit Route for a more adventurous ascent to the top.

Your guide will set a comfortable pace, share local stories and hiking knowledge, and stop at some of the best viewpoints for photos along the way.
