The Lion’s Head mountain rises above the coastal Cape Town, forming a dramatic background to the city.
Capture the stunning coastal scenery of South Africa as the day breaks from the darkness of night.
Part of the larger Table Mountain National Park, Lion’s Head peaks at 669 meters above sea level. The protected area covers rugged mountains, coastline, and rare flora, such as fynbos, which is fully protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Named Lion’s Head during the 17th century, the shape of the rock is said to resemble a lion that is crouching.
Although not the highest mountain in the area, it does offer accessible and breathtaking panoramas of surrounding nature, the buzzing cityscape and the choppy waves of the vast Atlantic Ocean.
We’ll time our hike just right to reach the summit for sunrise, as the sun slips above the city bringing colour to the rugged and rocky landscape.
Watching sunrise unfold from this idyllic vantage point offers a unique and serene experience of seeing the city.
During the 3-hour hike we will have the choice of two paths, which we will choose depending on the level, age and experience of the group.
One route is more adventurous yet exposed with chains and staples, while the other route is easier and less technical. Which means that this hike can be ideal for families.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the stunning coastal city of Cape Town during a half-day sunrise hike to Lion’s Head.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
