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. Both routes showcase incredible views of Table Mountain, Camps Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Town. 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.
