About this Hike

A combination of rough terrain with occasional scramble.

Lion’s Head sunrise hike has a steep screw top route circling the mountain and takes approximately two hours to complete. You’re getting views in all directions from the vista of the Atlantic coastline to the magnificent Table Mountain Twelve Apostles. In some sections the trail is rocky and using your hands to scramble over rocks is necessary. Rising up 669 meters, Lion’s Head summit has a 360-degree view with Table Mountain as its backdrop and the sparkling coastline. Lion’s Head is situated in one of the smallest floral kingdoms in the world known as Cape Fynbos.

Our first hour hike require the use of our headlamps. Luckily this part of the trail is easy to follow albeit being a steep gravel track. The first twilight appears 30 minutes before “sunrise” by then we will have completed a full loop and halfway to the summit. The last 40 minutes of the trail is along a steep ridge with rocky sections and ladders. As the sun light starts to peak over the horizon the light begins to change to an orange glow over Table Mountain.

It is only now in full daylight that we are able to see the path that we have just ascended, with impressive rock formation such as Cape granite. The descent back to the car park takes approximately 45 minutes.

To make the most of your Lion’s Head Sunrise hike, bring comfortable hiking shoes, windbreakers and layers in case it gets chilly. Overall, the Lion’s Head Sunrise hike is an unforgettable experience that offers a unique perspective on Cape Town’s natural beauty. Book your hike today and discover the magic of Lion’s Head at sunrise, a sight above all that captures the essence and energy of Cape Town at dawn. Start time varies based on Sunrise.
