LIONS HEAD

CAPE TOWN

SOUTH AFRICA

Lion's Head is a mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, between Table Mountain and Signal Hill. Lion's Head peaks at 669 metres above sea level. The peak forms part of a dramatic backdrop to the city of Cape Town and is part of the Table Mountain National Park.


The trail going up Lion’s head is a screwtop, you will be circling the mountain as you hike to the top. This means you are getting views in all directions. At a certain point the dirt path gives way to rocks and you have to step up, sometimes even use your hands to climb. Nothing hard though. This is rated an A+ hike (if taking the easy way) which means it is a very easy hike technically.

Remember to pack plenty of water, your camera and some snacks.
