Lions Head Trail is a hiking trail Cape Town Cape Town located in South Africa.
Signal Hill Rd (Forestry Rd) Cape Town South Africa
2/3 of the trail is easy enough for anyone to do (low incline, wide paths) - even if you didn't do the whole climb to the top, the views 2/3 up are still unbelievable.
Beautiful views and a great adventurous hike for beginners. Go well-prepared: bring enough water and sunscreen . The hike is about 1 hour up and 45 minutes down.
If you are heading up to the Summit of Lions Head for sunset . Give yourself 45 minutes to get to the top. It's worth while taking a relaxed walk to the top, it makes the sunset more enjoyable.
Whatever you do make sure you have reached the peak by sunset . Then it gets TOO dark and dangerous to hike down! It takes approx 90mins to reach the peak from the side coffee shop .
Easy hike up (around 1h) with a beautiful view of the city . Perfect spot to see the sunset ! You need to climb a little bit at the end of the trail
Great trail not too demanding although it is stiff. Good shoes are necessary as it can be slippery and rocky. I saw a lady with flap shoes so it must be doable.
Amazing hike ???? bit challenging but it’s Turley a great experience
Amazing views , nice workout. I've been up so many times and this remains one of my favorite places in the Mother City .
The boulder climb towards the top can be challenging but otherwise an easy, fast and fun trail .
Top place for a run. Track is about 5km round the peak. Back section is little "off-road". Spectacular views .
Great hiking trail for all levels of hikers!
Pop up Lion's Head early morning on a week day. Up at 5h30 or 6am. Back before 7h30am and full of enery at the office . No coffee needed.
Not more just 2.4km and if u feel powerful just a 35 min. And when u arrive top feel how u say africans hmmm u feel lekka ;)
Make sure u have liquids with u on a hot day!! Don't wait until u back at the car to rehydrate!
a fit decent pace is 45mins to the top. great workout for those who like the outdoors and loath the treadmill .
Try heading up there before the sun comes up ...heat much...
Pack a light backpack with fruit and juice and do breakfast on top.

The best post in a Cape Town to go for a sunset walk. Dog friendly and cyclist friendly. - Яyan Miller
A great track if you're looking for something not too strenuous. Arrive early in the morning to make the most of the shade before the sun rounds the mountain! - Lydon McGrane
A crossing point between wine taters and walkers. Make sure you remember what you came to do - Phil Eck
I think one of the best spots in Cape Town to see the night view of Cape Town..Stunning view. - NomadDiplomat
Stunning. Restaurants by the promenade aren't the best, but grab a Kauai peanut butter smoothie and hang by the beach. - Phil Calçado
Take a picnic and your picture against the Table Mountain backdrop. - Pavel Tcholakov
