Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunset Hike

Hike up South Africa's flagship mountain peak for incredible views at sunset over Cape Town with experienced local guides! Beginning on Signal Hill Road, this spiralling, short, steep climb is extremely rewarding with 360 degree views of Table Mountain, Devil’s Peak, the Twelve Apostles, the Mother City and the Atlantic Seaboard. In winter the distant Boland mountain range can often be seen capped in a blanket of snow and in spring the slopes of Lion’s Head are adorned in a wonderful display of floral beauty. This moderately difficult hike is relatively short in distance but with some exposure to heights and rock scrambling on the final summit ridge. This hike is ideal for soaking up a summer sunset on the lower slopes as the city lights come on…but you won’t be alone as many others have the same idea!

What are people saying about Lion's Head

Lion's Head Hike for Sunrise with coffee/tea or Sunset

Phillip_A, Jun 2026

Lion’s Head Sunrise Hike

The sunrise hike of Lion's Head was a genuinely unique and amazing experience! Our guide, Idrees, was both friendly and knowledgeable about the mountain, local wildlife and botanicals, and Cape Town history and culture. If you can get your booking with him, you should do so hands down. The hike was definitely a physical challenge, so it should not be undertaken by the faint of heart. But the rewards are well worth the effort!

Kieron was a wonderful guide. He was so knowledgeable and has a genuine passion for the outdoors. Beautiful hike up Lion's Head. Can't beat the views!

The Lion’s head hike was sensational

Codi was an amazing guide helping us explore the terrain of lion’s head at sunset. I am physically fit with a slight fear of heights. Codi was very supportive and helped me reach heights I have never hiked before. While I was uneasy as we were reaching the top, Codi accompanied down to lower ground where I was able to comfortably watch the sunset and hike back down easily.
